Black 10 Hole Wheels
I notice that a lot of you have the ten hole wheels powder coated black. Is that the way the originals came? Powder coated? Or paint?

Just paint, not powder.

We like the powder coating as it lasts much longer than paint, especially if you took a set non black wheels to begin with and changed them over to black. I personally like to look, even though they are not correct in many cases.

I agree. My wheels have been Powder Coated since 1998 and although they have a couple of flaws still look great when cleaned up.

The wheels on my 4-eye are painted 10-holes (to clear the larger front brakes). To keep the outsides looking nice, I've had the tire installers mount the wheel weights to the inside of the rim. Justa tip...

Oh, I definetly want to have them black, even though it isn't correct for my '93. I just like the look that much better. I just don't have the money to powder coat them. So, paint sounds like the option for me for the time being. Thanks for the input guys!

Historical info: SSP's built from 1987 to mid-year 90, black was the standard 10 hole wheel. This was completed by Superior Wheel a job shop for Ford. Only the face of the wheel was painted. Wheel weights were put on the face of the wheel as well and they are correct. Silver 10 holes were an extra cost option during the period stated above.
