the plan was just to have the centers powdercoated black . but the guy at the shop
misunderstood me and powdercoated the entire wheel instead. needless to say i was
not happy .and stripping them was kind of pricey. after a while they grew on me so i
had the other pair done the same way. mounted them to some goodyear CS-C tires
then put them on the car i made the center caps .i think the wheels give the car
the sleeper look i was going for . when the weather improves ill snap better pics
had to pull car out of garage and let run for a few minutes . 91 camaro is winter car.

I think it looks good against the red. It definitely would have been better had the job been done the way you wanted though.
