I agree with what others have said. If you can have them blasted and powder coated, do it. Did that with some 356 and Beetle wheels. Turned out amazing and the powder coating is tough.

the steelies on 6s are it. even ok on 4s but vw wheel not quite as nice. hubcaps off for certain occasions suited to mood. you can't do jeykll and hyde with fuchs etc.
there was a misguided time when folks just threw steelies away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Nice looking jack post/long for a midwest car BTW! Yea, I'm thinking I'll be paying Glenn a visit real soon. And powder coat, not chrome. The picture of the chrome hubcaps against the chrome wheel just don't do it. As for the longs, the last time the car saw snow (or pretty much anything besides dry pavement) was when I brought it back up from Auto Atlanta in early 1989. Had the hell hole cutout and new piece patched in, plus other overall work. Maybe driven 3000mi since then. Something I've been trying to remedy... |
