You know, I've never liked those wheels but they look really nice on your car. What is the color? Were they powder coated?

| The color is called "Graphite" And i stripped the rims and painted them with "Duplicolor rim paint" specificly for car rims. The paint resist oil and all the chemicals rims will come in contact with. You have to wait 5 days between coats then i clear coated them with the same special paint. They have pics of others that were done by people on thier website . I think it"s Duplicolor.com. The dark look kinda grew on me and now i'm glad i did it. ............Peace |

| Heres that side shot. Thanx for all the comments Positive and Negative. The front is actually 1 1/2" lower than the rear. Caps will be the same graphite color with the crest painted gold. Peace......... |

are you running drop spindles, or just a lowered beam? because your front tires seem to sit too far forward. you might want to check how much room you have between the tire and your headlight buckets

| The front wheel is actually turned right a bit ; but i do just have a lowered beam. They're not as forward as they appear. The bucket clearence is fine; I checked that as soon as i put the tires on. |
