Ok decided on a color... I was thinking leave em alone, black, red or gold. Got to thinking maybe they would rust or the wheels would have an adverse reaction to the zinc plate. So gold it was. Your either going to love it or hate it BUT you won't have to drive it (LOL)

BTW my wheels and body trim are gold

I'll reserve my opinion as to whether or not I love 'em or hate 'em until I see them on the car. However, trying to visualize it in my head I'm thinking the gold hubs may distract from the wheels being that they are the same color. I also know that you are meticulous about your car and if it doesn't look right you will make it right.

Looks sharp, Tadd. I never thought about painting the rotor center. What type of paint do you use?

They look great but I don't think you will be able to see much of the center with the rim on so i think it will look fine. At least you will know it's done and the paint will stop any rust from forming.

Ya I didn't think they would be really noticable. I really wanted to prevent rust. They are curing now.. need to wait 1 week until I can mount them. Paint instructions say takes 7 days to fully dry. Heck I got all winter (LOL)


Used Duplicolor High heat paint (mistakenly called it VHT Before)
Just taking my time with the Deuce.
