So with my car being dark, having matte black stripes, all the lights tinted, windows tinted, the silver bullits looked out of place. I plan on buying wheels but not til after the winter. Couple weeks ago i threw out the idea in a thread and several suggested I go for it. Finally had a free weekend so off i went to the store, bough the stuff, and now its done. Let me know what you think.

. In case you are wondering, i DID NOT paint over the ford emblem in the middle, i removed it before painting.

wow, thats a good job you did there. take a pic with them on like this pic:




cause your stang looks so sweet in that pic, the front to rear height balance is perfect. roush rear lowering springs only right?

5SPD07GT

thanks! yep, only the roush rear springs. I will pull it out onto the street for a picture in a bit and take another pic so you can compare.

Were not you tempted to match the color of the car?

BTW, they look good, do they have clear oat on?

5SPD07GT

they have 2 coats of clear. they shine much better in person.

looks good. those bullits in silver to me are so gross looking, much better in black.

I made a trip to Lowes and bought two cans of gloss black and two cans of clear. Also bought some green 3M sandings pads. Pretty much i removed the wheel, washed it with dish soap, taped off the lip and valve stem, removed center cap emblem,sanded the wheel, cleaned with mean grean degreaser, cleaned again with mean grean degreaser, made sure there wasNO dirt. Then hit with 3 coats of gloss black and 2 coats of clear. I'll take a picture of all the supplies i used. The paint was made by rustoleum. They had two types of gloss black but i bought the more expensive "professional enamel". I ended up only using one can of each, black and clear.

if you sanded and repainted then your wheels might not be balanced

you should go to a tire shop and have them balance all 4

Oh ya Looks great
