Black Wagon Wheels
Black Wagon Wheels Anyone have any pics of black Wagon wheels im curious to see what they would look like i have a nbm car and lookin to get away from the chrome Z06s
wagon wheels people, wagon wheels... had to do spacers on the rear because of rubbing, tire kingdom is full of idiots, and therefore had to get the nuts with the long neck that slide down into the wheel further, gripping more threads bc of the spacers. i didnt like the center cap, thought about trimming it to fit. i have also since painted the center hubs black to match, and it blends in well. though eventually im still looking for a custom shop to make center caps. painted with black appliance epoxy paint.

thanks all, i appreciate it. i got them with old tires for 300, couldnt beat it for a college kid. painted myself. i also like the staggered 17-18" look. however i would love a set of year one's snowflakes, with black inserts of course.
the silver wagons's - i didnt even know they were until the second look, black inserts work well!!
-to answer questions, under hard cornering yes i can get them to rub the quarter panel, id like to roll the fender lip. they also rubbed some on the driver inside. i think someday i will BFH the inner fender, and i know i need to tweak my adj. panhard bar some.(anyone know stock length? bolt to bolt or however) they are only 275's in the rear, people with 315's boggles my mind. originally i had 295's on the rim, they looked sick cause it bulged over the rim, but definitely rubbed more often, like every corner. it also sits on the bmr springs. i have had compliments on the dyno that these wheels also look very good when they spin up, surprisingly enough. i think if i get the PHB in alignment i should be able to get rid of the spacers.
also, had someone tell me they are actually lighter than the stock 16" 'ers, so yay.
** cleaning a painted rim took some experimentation, dont use anything you can buy at the store, seems to dull and bubble even cleaners made for painted rims. ive found fantastik, sprayed on, let sit, works well, though im always looking for better... but thats another thread.

thanks bro! how is san anto? my dad just moved to dallas but we both wanna check out the riverwalk... off topic. i didnt put clear on them, was told not to, and they could be buffed after a year...
There's lots of good stuff down here. If you guys really like good food, there's a lot of great restaurants down here, mostly off of the riverwalk. PM me with what you guys like to eat and I'll give you some good names. I grew up in Arlington(right outside of Dallas), there's a bunch to do out there too!
