I think that looks great. You didnt want them in black?

 

Is that black chrome??? If so Im actually debating whether or not to do the same to my Bullitt rims or wait and later on maybe get the Shelby C67's.

 

Careful powder coating unless they are steel wheels. That baking process will make the wheels brittle.
Its a universal no no from what I have read. Paint sure! but no powercoating the aluminum wheels.

It looks like gray paint with some clearcoat. Anyway it sure looks good!!

 

thats for the heads up.. its actually called ChromeX and its a spray op chrome.. they had some peices there that they chrome and so beautiful. Think I may have them do my wheels and while the cars there paint my valve covers and some other stuff in the motor.

 

I research things insanely before doing anything. I work for a ford dealer and from what I'm told ford uses an acrylic powder coat process on the fan blades. It was so tough that the powder coater had to send them out to be liquid honed. Everything I have read since your post says the aluminum can with stand much higher heat then the baking process.

those look awesome jed!

 

If you pick a wheel you really like just go for it,then post a pic. Your first idea is usually the best for your car...and you. It may a new styled contemporary design but so what.Its nice to see something different.

 

Thanks David, I guess the only down side is I have to take a new series of pictures

Ok, I know this isn't the "Show us your wheel cap" thread, but thought I would share an inexpensive mod to make your wheels look a little more unique. Got them from Kevin Casey (TMS user name 05stangKC)

These are the same wheel caps available on the Caroll Shelby wheels (you usually see the red version)

 

Looks good with the color of the car! Here's my wheel cap mod in the red version(Got them from KC also):
