Default Timeless 2's gone...HP Lightnings on...

Made a deal with a guy in the local f-body club for a trade. The HP's got sent off for refinishing (updated pics next week), but I had to take some shots with the new wheels before I sent them off.






Old wheels...

Thanks desertLS1.
They are 19's, yes.
So, here's the thing...I hate doing things that a lot of other folks have done...so the refinishing is going to cause a lot of...response. I'm going with satin black centers & SOM lips... Just dropped them off today, so we'll see how they turn out.

Are they powder coating them?
I was going to coat my centers black also, BUT the rivets are fake and just glued in, so I opted against the extra cost of the labor to take the rivets out, then trying to glue them back in... Just to much trouble for the end cost and time..

These will be painted, rather than powdercoated. We'll see how much of a durability issue that is...

Anyways, sounds pretty interesting man. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I just ordered a set of black RPM 505's and plan on powder coating the lips to match the car (red) .. unless painting is a cheaper and equally as durable option. Staying tuned for pics

In for pics!!

A black CETA and/or some black Blackbird stripes would probably look badass with the black wheels.
