Painted my Mahles over the last few days. I like the blacked out Fuchs look, this is my budget version. I dig it. Thoughts?
BTW, any intown Atlanta guys here? I know Sterling Skinner, nice guy & good resource. Anyone else?  |

I like it!
I did the same to a set I had on a yellow '73 many years ago. Bring it to Okteenerfest this fall and show it off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Looks pretty darn good! It is amazing how some paint done well on wheels can really change the look of a car.

I like it.... does not distract from the car..... suits the car very well.
I have aways thought that wheels should not "stand out" .... unless they are extremely unique, etc. Good job. |

Thanks guys. White would not be my first choice for a 914 nor would be the late model bumpers but it was the cleanest car I could find at the time.

They would look even better with the ridges polished or painted silver!

Don't sell yourself short, you got a damn nice car that I'd take in a heart beat, Polish the rings ( try Flitz, a great polish) a bit and take a better pic, looks awesome, |
