blacked out wagons, didnt like the factory center caps so did without, then with custom ebay round center caps with the chrome lugs (needs larger rear tires in second pic). switched sets for better tires to all silver wagon wheels with my center caps and lugnuts, i like the blacked out better.

I like the look of those on that! I think I'm gonna try out the white on white with em. I think they can look good not my first choice by far. But mine are almost perfect shape and I really don't have 600-1000 for rims now, that's going to th longtubes and exhaust.

I picked up set for 250 with nice Goodyear eagle f1 all around but I'm debating whether or not to paint them. Here's a picture of my car and of what I'm thinking about doing to the wheels versus leaving them silver.

That's a damn good deal! I think they look pretty good blacked out or just the center black, but I am going with white on the car again, so I think white on the wheels should look killer! Good luck with yours make sure u post em up when they are done and mounted!

Thanks man, I see you live in johnstown too, I havent seen your car around town I don't think. I've always loved the look of polished lips and black centers, it even makes these look nice. I'd really like to see what your white on white looks like when it's done.

Thanks man, even though im stuck using it this winter I try to keep it clean. I can count the number of fbodies around here with my hands, and I've talked to almost everyone who owns one. Was that outside harbor freight? I've been working there for a while

Thanks I thought it would work well with my paint and I'm glad to say I was right lol. Believe it or not that's just plastic dip too, I got too impatient for my friend to paint them so I slapped them on that way.

Bringing the old thread back...Personally I think wagon wheels can look pretty good. My dad painted these ones body color for me and I get compliments on them all the time.

Right now I'm debating getting some 18x9.5's for the fronts so they can match the back a little better. Only thing I wish is that the backs had more dish to them but they are not bad for the $250 I spent on them.

Oh and the 305/35/18 Nitto 555R Drag radials fit perfect on the back after a little massaging with a hammer to the inner wheelwell and grinding to the bump stops.
