I really like the look of those wheels....





Oh ya right, they're mine
But I agree that on a red car it wouldn't work

You sure you don't want bronze? I used the duplicolor to do mine

My general feeling on the 16in Phone Dials are not on the style or the color but the tire profile. If we could run a 45 tire it would be a much better look and handle better. And lower the ride by 1-1.5 inches

Next time I'm in the market for tires getting lower profile sounds like a good idea, gimmie more of a "hellaflush" look when I lower it with my coilover kit

Uh you wouldn't be even close to hellaflush, or even flush, with those wheels. Even if you cheated with spacers.

For some reason he likes driving around like a Honda with a un-painted body kit.

Shutup omggggg. After I install my coilover I'm using my current valance as a guinea pig to see how low I can go without it scraping everywhere. Then I'm installing a new valance once I get my ride height perfect.

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

How do you plan on painting the wheels. Can you powder coat phone dials? As the Rolling Stones sang I'd like to paint mine black.

Nothing wrong with a rattle can, just take your time on the sanding and they should come out good.
