New Wheels

Took some pictures after the snow of the new wheels. In the middle of doing the wheels it starting dropping in sheets so we had to hurry. Anyway, not 100% sure I like em over the black ones or if I should powdercoat these black. I do know they fit the fenders like a glove.

Keep 'em silver and shiny.

They pull your eyes, the red just pops right over them and the dark touches (tint, panel, etc.) add just the right touch of "should I look closer" menace...nice Stang.....

I say powdercoat them! You've blacked everything else out. I'm not into chrome.

I always loved those wheels, but they just look so much meaner in black. They fill out those wheel wells very nicely.
