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?
