Whoa, not what i was expecting! I kind of like them. I think the car itself needs more blue accents now to bring it all together. I was expecting black like everyone else...lol.

Im glad to see you are enjoying the car, Scott. I hope you treat her well, and she returns the favor to you! I have that 408 block still if you are interested. Shipping it might be a killer though.

yeah i think the car needs to be painted blue or something,blue flames,decals etc, i also would polish the lips ,that would make it look alot better imo , i understand you want to turn a profit if you were gonna sell,but i can not tell you the amount of work that would need to be put into those things ,

I absolutely despise colored faces with polished lips. These wheels came to me black with polished lip, it was awful.

Now swap a B18 into it and get the biggest Ronald Mcdonald stickers you can find to complete the look!

Did you get a quote, or were you saying that in general it's expensive?

I'm just curious, as I've always wanted to get a set of anodized wheels on the right car.

Personally I think it may just be the wrong shade of blue.

I have nothing against blue wheels since I love the 30th anniversary Trans Am. Granted these are anodized instead of powdercoated.

You're not going to make a profit from these. Without the retarded powder coating these wheels look damn good by themselves

Are you really this ******* stupid? Someone made a comment about buying the wheels to "save" them. I simply stated I wont sell these unless I am turning a profit. Aka I'm keeping them unless someone decides to give me $3500, I'm not planning on that happening.

I guess you are that stupid. Do you not understand the phrase everything is for sale for the right price?

Read you loud and clear, I'm aware of the phrase. What are your plans for the rims?
