    mine were cheap, left outside type wheels, I need to clean them up pretty good, so I think I'll blast them, I was going to then coat them with rustoleum heavy rusted metal primer (high fill) and I have some duplicolor dull aluminum for the grey, and rustoleum satin black for the black. I think when I actually get all my body work done and give my car a sonic blue and grafite paint, I may paint the wheels to match, maybe :D

    The 73 Maverick parts car I got has a set on them. They do look good but I dont have any car to put them on, so I'll probably sell them. How much is a set (wheels only) going for?

    I was gonna go in the morning but I just tried to put the centers on and all the bolts are about a 1/4 inch too short to get them tightened down good. Gotta hit the hardware store in the morning. The had been retapped for a larger bolt since the originals were stripped but I guess they were never put back on a set of wheels to verify how long the bolt needed to be ...

    Dennis,
    I thought that your ex-wife had those in a jar on the mantle over the fireplace
    in the home that your alimony helped to pay for?

    She might have gotten more than she deserved, but that aint one of them. Besides, alimony is for rich people.
