Nice looking! About the paint....leave them the way they are!! They look good.. Save your money for that H/C combo you are going with in case you run into any issues with the build. To get a set of wheels painted/clear coated properly it's going to run in the ball park of $350-500.

Man that is going to look awesome, those are one of my favorite wheels. Did you go with chrome or what finish?

Hey Im waiting on UPS to knock on my door also. They are bringing me a set of summit fast five wheels and a granetelli fuel pump.

*02WS6TURK*

Yeah they should look pretty sweet. I went with Polished...chrome is too bling bling for me At first I went with the machine face black w/ a darker satin but they were out of stock on them. Polished will do though....plus I got a bad *** deal on them being my first choice they were to send me ended up not being in stock so I couldn't pass the deal up.

Well that is sweet that you got a deal on them, and those will look good.

The wheels just arrived. They sent me the wrong center caps "should have been blank centers instead of the Chevy Bow-Tie" at least they are all chrome so they don't stick out like a sore thumb. Got the correct ones coming. Putting them on tomorrow! Should look good..

Sorry I missed your call earlier. I was elbow deep in gunk trying to replace the cv axle on the vdub. Turns out the axle I got is too long and won't work...... FAWWWK...

That's pretty common to break that sending unit. I've almost broke mine a couple times. Don't worry Joe, the hard part is still to come when you have to drop the oil pan to get to the oil pump pickup tube bolt. Also, once you get the heads off, be sure to get all the coolant out of the bolt holes in the block or you could end up cracking the block. Have fun buddy.
