Alright well I guess no one here has taken the time to do this to their wheels...I am a college student so a set of rims is not in my budget. I will post some pics when I get done with these, hopefully in a few weeks and see if ne one has any resopnse to them.

You might enjoy this site. These guys are a few miles from me. They've done some straightening work for me.

they look great.

they have a newer paint ou tthat i just ofund it is from duplicolor. check out thier site it is kind of a neat deal how it works,

i had thought of polishign mine and then adding red to the wheels where they are powder coated silver now and then clearing over top of it agian. but i was goign to use poweder to do it. just not sure i have the gumption to polish those wheels long enough to make them look like crome LOL

but still thinking of it. jsut wish i had a second set of wheels to put under it till i had them all done

thank DESS03, but shipping would kill me .

might see what i can find around here for a pro polisher place and have them do the hard work LOL

then i will powder coat the parts i want and clear over it all with a clear powder.

time to get out the old photo shop and blow the dust off of it so i can get a better idea of what it will all look like when done.
