No, the pink car runs silver wheels lol
I think I actually know where your wheels came from. Gal ran them on a silver 996 I've seen at VIR a few times. Right?

I would use these as track wheels if they weren't so big. With a 17X7 on front and a 17X9 on the back, my car would push like a bulldozer. I was going to refinish these for street/cruising wheels and use my 15" phone dials for track/auto-x wheels.
I like the Pepto-Bismol idea though.

OK, here's what two hours of my time and a $10 can of stripper got me. The rest should go more quickly now that I know what to do and what not to do.
I feel more masculine already.

Is it just me, or are these wheels I just bought a little, how should I say......alternative? 
The ad said "perfect for the next gay pride parade or breast cancer benefit", and they do not disappoint. It's a shame, because the finish on them is just about perfect, not a scratch on them. If I was EXTREMELY secure in my manhood (or a flaming queen), I'd leave them as is, but I just don't have it in me.
So, how hard is it to paint over powdercoat? Will paint stick to it if it's properly roughed up, or am I going to have to strip/sandblast them down to bare metal?

It's too late since Dan stripped them, but I'd like to see how they'd look on a white or black race car. They might bring some flash to the track! Where are all the photoshop guys?
You could have matching number, Pepto Bismal as a sponser... You missed a good bet there.
