Refinished wheels... what do you guys think??
i chemical stripped and sand blasted the original wheels and cleaned the rim up with a wire wheel and some sanding, then i shot the center graphite with duplicolor wheel paint. i was going to clear them with duplicolor clear but i i tried it on one and it didnt come out well. so i mounted em un cleared and i still like em... also the drag lites are for sale for local pick up. tires on em, but front are shot and rears are shitty cooper cobras that couldnt hook up a slowdog lg4. rims are not perfect some nasty curb rash on a couple i got em for free from a junkyard off a foxbody they are unilug 175??

Looks good. Do you have any closer up, and before pics? How long did it take you do all this work?

lookin' good bro. you should see if the guys from the $1000 budget drag car thread want those wheels. normally i'd say i want them, but i don't exactly have a use for them, other than to polish them up and have for a set of street tires for my camaro or something....but i also don't have $175 layin' around right now either.
