  • Painted my front 2 steel wheels

    I didn't do the back ones yet because I'll probably need to go out and get more Tremclad, also I was short on time. The paint dries amazingly fast too.

    Here's before and after shots(sorry for the bad quality..couldn't find my real camera)

    Before:



    After:



    Since they were the front wheels, I had to scrub a lot of brake dust off with an S.O.S. (steel wool) pad.

    I absolutely love the look when they're on the car..it gives it a real rally look. I'll post pictures when I'm finished the back two, which will probably be tomorrow.

    Update:
    Took a couple pictures with the front wheels on



    I actually really like the look of these, and am going to hold of from getting new wheels for a while. I'll probably get the FMS Performance springs and drop it down that 1.4 inches instead.

    Update July 27th/07:

      Did you really tape off your lead weight?


      Take it back to the back porch, join the 3 string revolution.

          All you need now are some trim rings, center caps and chrome lug nuts!
