Default $50 wheels and a little time and paint...walla

My car has been sitting for a while and I was in desperate need for some stock wheels. All I have is a drag setup now. Anyway, I bought a set of ws6 wheels that were peeling all over the place. Sanded them down by hand, primed painted and put on the red stripes. Got some plain gloss black center caps. Painted the calipers and brackets and put on the camaro decal. I'm out a total of 75 bux lol. Not too bad for a budget deal...

Thanks guys. I will post pics with them on the car as soon as I get tires and get them mounted. Not sure how they will look on a camaro but it should be fine with the solid black center caps...these look like the old zr1's I used to have..

It's the 1/4 inch pinstripe from O'Reilly or AutoZone. Just had to go real slow to make sure it's on straight.

Came out great. now installing tires on them will be hard. Some people have no care what so ever when mounting tires. Hopefully the paint wont scratch up.

I know what you mean. I paid a guy an extra 20 to not scratch them. Please be nice, I just ordered some 1.5 drop springs for the front. Kinda hard to see as it was cloudy when I took the pics.

IMO you shouldn't have to pay someone extra to not scratch your wheels. Painted or not, they shouldn't be scratching wheels!
