Default just bought the new fanblades, tell me what you think!!

ok so i just bought four fanblade wheels with oem tires and everything, shipped for $600...(sold my stock 17 bullitts for $500) says under 6k miles on the wheels so i think i did really good, i plan on having them painted black (flat black) and using them for my winter wheels so my chrome doesnt get messed up or anything.....ill post pics after i do all this transfermation, just wanted to let the other guys who were interested that just pay attention to ebay and youll find something, i just looked for the first time today in about 3 weeks and saw these wheels and bought them within 4 minutes of seeing them...im pumped

I think you should leave them as-is. I love the fanblades. I have them and plan to keep them for the long term. They are clearcoated from the factory, so they should be well protected from gook.

I just put Fan Blades on recently as well .... they are the best looking OEM wheel and aren't on 90% of all other Mustangs like the Bullitts are ...

That's a real good price for fanblades man.

Do you mind if I ask how you sold your 17 inch bullits (Ebay?)? I got stock 17's I'm trying to sell as well.

sold it on craigslist, or the local shop was gonna give me 400 for them...but to pnut, i love the look too, but i mean i already have $2300 wheels on my car that look good so i wouldnt want to just put stockers back on for no reason, thats why i am painting them black...my whole car will be murdered this winter (black pony gt emblems rear emblem) thats the only chrome on my car left so it will be completely black and i think it'll look pretty good and draw a lot of attention

Consider powder coating them. There was a thread on powdered wheels right before the board changed over and that is the way to go.

Cost was allot less than I imagined too.
