The wheels are painted. The red is also flat..... For whatever reason photos wash out the red on the wheels. They really look good in person.

Cool! so you used the Hot Rod Flatz on them too? Do you think it will be durable?

I have a few questions for ya....shoot me an email z28ss21@hotmail.com

Thought maybe this was missed the first time around

Iron block 6 liter LS1 with a big cam and the edelbrock intake/msd setup so I can run a carb.

Big Cliff- welcome to the board. The truck is still sweet. I like it alot better with the wheels painted. Its different. Thats a good thing

JohnC · 07-10-2009, 08:34 AM

Sounds like a good engine. A lot of people are going with the 6.0 LS motors.

justpball · 07-10-2009, 09:17 AM

Square84 · 08-26-2009, 11:24 AM
