Re: Wheels!!....which one?

i like them both but the first one (all polished) is my pick. i think it has alot to do with what look your going for. what sizes are you thinking ?

Re: Wheels!!....which one?

I like the first ones (shiny ones). The painted ones look like something from the 80's.

Re: Wheels!!....which one?

I wonder if it's possible to powdercoat the polished wheel with a orange-tinted clear coat?. Kinda like a candy paint treatment.

Re: Wheels!!....which one?

I'd have to pick the first one. The one with the body color powdercoat would look good as well if you could get it done that way, but the polished one looks the best I think. ...Joe
