Are they going to powder coat or paint them?? I am curious will they be gloss blck or like a satin finish. I just had the rear main and trans done on mine and I am slowly working towards the outside of the car... Seats and headliner are next....

They are going to be painted, semi-gloss black. To powder coat them was going to be too much, $100/wheel.

Brought the freshly painted wheels home this morning. They look great! Four of these wheels weren't in the greatest shape, due to them running in countless Michigan winters I guess. The black paint seems to cover up the flaws.

They turned out great!!! I can't wait till I get mine done. I have been getting the mechanical stuff done first. Had the rear main done, trans serviced with a new valve body (what a difference) its like WOW! also had the exhaust re-done with stock type mufflers and a new Walker "H" pipe... Quiet and quick! But those rims look fantastic.. I have to get mine done. Thanks for the picture.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the new look of the wheels.

I've been following along with your progress. Looking good.

Mechanically, mine needed a new rear end, which I had rebuilt at the end of last summer. When the mechanic pulled it apart, the fluid was burnt and the gears had cracks forming. And, some how, my T-5 trans. lost two of the four bolts on the bell housing!

My exhaust needs to be addressed. Just the cat back. The tailpipes are these stupid looking 3" tips that had been welded on from the last owner.
