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.

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

Re: Chevys From Texas Showdown

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