DON'T powder coat those black, if you do, you might as well have 2 sets of black zr1's, nobody will know the difference from any sort of difference, therefore eliminating the whole purpose of having expensive high polished wheels!

Man, I really liked the way you put your car together before... but now... I LOVE IT. They make it look so much classier.

You're lucky I didn't see those on ebay or else I'd be the one posting pics up!

It was a 9 day auction it tripped me out when nobody bid on them. I was the only one to bid on them.

I haven't seen anyone do it yet, but I'll bet a set of white powdercoated Firehawk wheels would look good on that white car. Or even better, a set of white powdercoated CCW SP500 wheels!

Nice upgrade. I agree, TTIIs, ZR1s, etc. They've all been done to death. Although they usually look allright, they don't do a damn thing for me. Something about the dime a dozen look just doesn't impress me.

The only thing is..... those are 335s on an 11" wheel?

Yeah the tires came with the wheels. 11 inch rims can be used according to the different tire brands I've been pulling up. It's the minimum rim size that can be used though.
