Looks good to ME!

Had the re-machined 10 hole wheels installed on the MSHP SSP yesterday. Will get some decent pics to post as soon as possible. Makes a big difference. Spring weather has been very bad here so far.

I bought an extra set of 10 holes for $30 that I was going to have redone for the TX car. If we end up keeping her I may go ahead and get them done. Mike post some before and after pics when you get a chance. |

I took two more of my extras (10 hole wheels) to get re-machined by Keystone (or LKQ as they seem to also be going by). $85 each so I'm pretty pleased with that amount. One of them will go in the MSHP and the other for the MSP will allow me to keep the period correct tire mounted on the spare that is in there now, but pull it and put this other one in there with a regular driver tire in case I have any tire issues on the road and need to use the spare.

Be careful on the powder coating ! To get clear powder coat to stick well on these wheels they have to sandblast them.
Which removes the poliched look, and it pits them bad, not smooth. I am doing my wheels now. I called around on powder coating, and they all said they had to blast them. NOT happening ! Sam's ( mustang kid ) Dad, Chris, gave me the following..... WalMart, get some AIRCRAFT REMOVER spray cans, around $7.00 a can or so. Will need 1 to 2 per wheel. It removes the clear on these wheels well. A little scrubbing and the clear comes off. You have to let it sit on there a bit, test it. I had an extra wheel and used it as a sample. Works well. The finish is very nice, smooth and clean ( unless you have curb rash ) Once cleaned, get a clear automotive finish at an automotive paint store. They can help you with the correct stuff. You can spray it yourself, or have a buddy that paints do it. I'm just doing the outsides. Scrubbing and cleaning the insides is all. They look like they came from the factory that way. Avoid powder coating if you want an original look ! Beats $130.00 a wheel !! john |
