35th Anniversary SS wheels
35th Anniversary SS wheels what's up guys,
i'm thinking about painting my stock SS 10 spokes so they look like the 35th anniversary ones. some quesitons for the guys with them or who have painted their wheels similarly. i've never actually seen them up close, what kind of black should i use? flat or gloss? also, if anybody has any nice close up pics of the wheels, that would be appreciated as well.

just got mine done and on the car...
Mine are alittle different though, I polished the face of the spokes.

I don't think they are just painted differently. I think they are machined a bit differently as well. The Anniversary wheels have sharper lines I think. Might just be an optical illusion though.
To answer your question I'd use a glossy black. Also, gmpartsdirect has the anniversary wheels for 636.00 per set brand new.

stockers for right now, and as you can see on the front tire they don't match. But I am going to see what the 35th's look like. I have a friend who just got a set and Im going to try thyrm on my car. If there not closer then Im not sure what to do.

I made mine into Anv clones. All the machining is there under the paint. The big PITA was stripping the stock paint and getting it out of the grooves of the machined surface. I found a brass brush did this well.
I just used gloss black. My centercaps are black also. I did this to keep them different from true Anv. wheels. Plus I don't care for the difference in metal color of the machined surfaces and the chrome center caps I could find.
I do like the polished spoke look on slowmofo's wheels. Been thinking about trying that, but I've decided to get a totally different wheel.

pewter spokes with the back areas black. i sandblasted the wheel and painted it exactly like you would any automotive part. taped off the pewter spokes and then painted it black and cleared it all
if you just taped off and sanded deep area you could paint just it. id suggest using good automotive paint and clearing everything though.
what id like to see is white and black wheels. or like SOM or another brighter color as the spokes. would really stand out

ok dude, i had mine done like 2 weeks ago i did all this research on them and they are machined/spun on a cnc lathe after they are painted black....GLOSS BLACK not flat black. then the whole wheel was cleared together. i had them done for 100$ per wheel locally. let me know if you want there info they look so sick.
