Finally got my GTA's refinished(pics)
A local rim shop powdercoated the webbing black and then shot a clear powdercoat over the whole wheel. Worth the money it cost me.

I just noticed you chose the same cap overlays from Mark that I did. You are an intelligent man my freind. I love the OEM look they give off.

A couple of cans of Krylon and a case of beer and that what you get. Shiny black paint.

I really like them... I have four fronts on my car as well.... except I bought near perfect ones to start with.... so I didn't have to refinish them.... yet...

I have also bought two more (gold) fronts.... I plan on refurbishing them similar to yours.... and putting on my 28x11.5x16 ET Streets I bought.....

I hope she hooks and cooks........ and looks stealthy....
