first wash in a year lol....wheel advice
i know the car is nowhere near perfect...but im doing the best with what i can afford... nice to have it semi clean now...still needs a lot of detailing but nothing i wanted to get into today
and i know the wheels looks horrid...if i decide to leave them polished, im actually going to polish them and get them looking nice....oh and the vent is broke, but i plan to delete them anyways and put a panel there with nitrous pressure, volts, and trans temp gauges in it
im swaying back and forth on whether to polish these wheels up real nice or have them powdercoated black....what do you guys think?
enjoy

christ i guess this isnt a daily driver, lol, i agree, powder coat them if you can afford it, otherwise a nice polish would be good...if you do powdercoat them you wont be able to find it in a dark parking lot, just letting you know lol

I would just polish the prostars. There is just something about a nice shiny track wheel IMO. Plus if you get black saleens, you will kinda have the option to choose if you wanna go dark for the day or bling!
Car looks good. Drop that front til it kisses the ground

yea its going to be a street/strip car
and im undecided on wheels at the moment lol...i put up a thread in the chop shop to try and get a PS
hpwrestler, thats as far down as the nose is going to go... i only have about 4-5" of clearance at the moment from the ground to the k member...it looks so high because i have a 1.5" spacer on the k member, which essentially acts as a body lift....the suspension up front is slammed (cant even get a jack under the k member without driving onto blocks), but the body isnt...better angle for the drivetrain and more hood clearance with the 460
