Rolling on 13s

[freshtiva]

I got my 13 " wheels back from the sandblaster today. Now for a little painting. I thought they cleaned up well.

[freshtiva]

Sand blasted and primed, now I just need to figure out what color to paint them. Maybe black, just about ready for the eight new tiger paws

since they're steel, they can safely be powdercoated... shouldn't be too expensive.

^ Thanks Jim, not only for the powercoat advise ..... but for some acknowledgement. Tough crowd anymore. Wont stop fresh !! Upward and onward till the end. Got my own mission.

[FB71]

dude, you're one of the folks I watch very closely here. You do some very nice work!

[leapin]

Maybe some gunmetal grey? Metallics FTW!

Frestiva has 10 Festivas I don't think he has any extras.

It's a compliment Fresh. We are all jelous to the pint of lose of motor control preventing any typing.
By the way those rimes look great! I like Linda Blu's color I would consider a paint match for her and think a gloss gun-metal with chrome rings would look sweet on a darker car like Booger. Theres my two cents worth.

Very sweet. I have a set of the same 13's, stumbled acroos them at the wrecker. Never thought of sandblasting, was just gonna use sandpaper. Yeah, i think hard sometimes. Good call buddy! nicely done.

[freshtiva]

thanks, I like the gunmetal idea a lot. Id decided to go black because Ill have to use some wheel covering. The covering will look best w/o any back color hopefully. I can always change. Cost, about $100/set without tires. Should save $60 on my next tire purchase of 13s instead on 12s. I have several covering in mind but here are a few. Ill put it to a vote when I have them all in.



Whats a festiva without a little fun ? My eight ball valve stem caps.

I like the trim rings with center caps (it worked for my Buick)

Glad I stopped by to check the posts. I'm about to deal with the wheel delimma-I still have the original 12's on my car, and Wal-mart no longer stocks this tire...nor do any of the other tire dealers around here, and I've got a nail in the sidewall. Guess I'll be making that trip to the wrecking yard-now I know what kinds of cars to look for. Unfortunately I'll be blowing the warranty on these tires-I just bought them last year....guess I got the last set; good thing they were cheap.
