[QUOTE="marty, post: 130679, member: 3275"] So, I've been looking for quite some time to change up the wheels on my C5. ,[ATTACH]16230[/ATTACH] while these look pretty good, silver cars and chrome kinda do, as well as black cars and chrome, I just wanted a change. searched for quite a while and found I really liked the Cray Brickyard, black with machined face. REALLY liked. [ATTACH]16231[/ATTACH] hard to find and a bit more than the budget, unless I waited till next year, which was possible. I came across a set of painted silver c6 wheels with a price I couldn't pass up. they were kinda beat up, they had been plasti dipped so I didn't know how bad they actually were. but got them anyway, silver rims on a silver car? might not be bad. [ATTACH]16232[/ATTACH] but now my creativity takes over, I should paint them black. Sand them down, shoot them with a can of gloss black, how bad could it be? if it was really bad I could fall back on the original plan and get them powder coated. couldn't be worse than now. But, creativity.... [ATTACH]16233[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16234[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16235[/ATTACH] after this I gave them all a quick sand, paying close attention to get rid of the tape lines. gave them all three coats of clear gloss. They came out really nice. I have a set of firestone firehawk indy 500 on the way for these. cant wait to see everything together on the car. [/QUOTE]
