before people jump down my throat, yes I searched and can't find any pictures of this. from what I understand these wheels have a machined face and lip and come clear coated. I remember seeing a picture of a BMW with chrome snypers and liked the look, but not really a chrome person. someone has to have polished a set of these wheels as there are a lot of people running them. a close up shot of a 17" version of this wheel would be nice. thanks

 

The wheel does indeed have a polished surface with clear coat. it is not a true polished look though and nothing like a truly polished billet wheel. The inside surfaces of the spokes are painted a light gray and also are clear coated. You could polish them but it would take a lot of elbow grease and future maintenance.






Don't get me wrong though. I love these wheels and they complement the 3rd gen style better than most wheels out there.

 

Had the same wheels on mine.

 

Thanks for not chroming the alum Curtis :-) Else I would tell u all about it lol

Hey, if your home from school give me a call.

later

CAH383,


That a hot car, very close to what I'm doing with my 88' - gotta love gray-

 

thats because its a "machined" surface

 

I would really like to see a set of snypers mirror polished. I know the machined faces are pretty shiny but what I was really hoping to see was a set someone polished

 

Each time I see those wheels .. yup gotta love the pure simplicity of them, maybe it's because compared to bmw mesh wheels and corvette wheels they look nekkid

 

ya i love them....sometimes wish i got those.

 

Is it just my imagination, or are the spokes actually more straight lined, i.e. more pendecular (sp?) to the surface than other wheels with five or six spokes ? That's what I like, the clean lines. A lot of rims look real nice and fance, but on the actual car .. naaaahhh

Although I've seen one set of rims that reminds me of a black widow
