Paint,Polish,or plastidip?????
anyways my bosses father picked up a 69 camaro and the guy he bought it from also gave him these 15 inch american racing wheels with 4 almost new tires.
being as my iroc eats up tires i picked up the rims and tires for 200 bucks
the crome is starting to flake off so im going to have them glass beaded and either polish them myself or have them painted , and also thought about plasti dipping them for now after they get blasted
what do u guys think

Don't like the wheels, but I think they would look better in flat black. Try the Plasidip and see if you like them.

Re: Paint,Polish,or plastidip?????
i may just pick up a can of plastidip to see what one wheel looks like in flat black and then if they look good ill have them blasted and painted
though my other thought was to have them polished and painted on sections to change the whole look of the wheel itself

What does your car look like? It would be easier for us to throw out a suggestion.

You'll fall inlove with the PlastiDip. I just did my rims on my 91 firebird last month and it turned out awesome. Will upload pic once I get home.
