i chemical stripped and sand blasted the original wheels and cleaned the rim up with a wire wheel and some sanding, then i shot the center graphite with duplicolor wheel paint. i was going to clear them with duplicolor clear but i i tried it on one and it didnt come out well. so i mounted em un cleared and i still like em... also the drag lites are for sale for local pick up. tires on em, but front are shot and rears are shitty cooper cobras that couldnt hook up a slowdog lg4. rims are not perfect some nasty curb rash on a couple i got em for free from a junkyard off a foxbody they are unilug 175??

 

aww man.... just realized it needs tire shine haha

 

Nice, I like how they look.

Looks good. Do you have any closer up, and before pics? How long did it take you do all this work?

 

umm... a few days a couple hours after work.. in total maybe 10-15 hrs but this was my first time and i took my time.
before

 

lookin' good bro. you should see if the guys from the $1000 budget drag car thread want those wheels. normally i'd say i want them, but i don't exactly have a use for them, other than to polish them up and have for a set of street tires for my camaro or something....but i also don't have $175 layin' around right now either.

 

I do like those wheels. A friend of mine is/was actually going to give me a set for free, I don't know how much they are worth, don't really have any use for them.

 

Wow, what a difference. Looks much better with the new paint IMO. Thanks for the info and impressive for first time
