original wheels

Post by 86capriasc »

Well, I think it is time to redo my original wheels. I am really starting to miss them. I wish I could find something similar in a 17" size.
The car is just not the same without the orange wheels. 8)

Thank you, maybe I could just paint those orange.
Well just the face and leave the blue on the inside between the spokes.

I LOVE THOSE WHEELS YOU DID !!! Please Please understand that! You did a masterful job, and they certainly could have been factory as they are factory flawless.

It's just that my middle name is STOCKER "Sandy Stocker" and I alway prefer STOCK! But, also that is because I used to be a Judge at car shows.

I just feel they may be too much of a boy-racer style and look. Well some times anyway.

Relax. I've seen ALOT worse on cars coming from the factory with expensive optional-at-extra-cost wheels.

I don't think I would do the borbets all orange like that, it would be too much.

But, There is NO reason you can't have more then 1 set of wheels.
Hell my wife has 100's of pairs of shoes!!!

That what I tell her when she see's all my tires and rims everywhere. :lol:

Like originally stated, it is time to refinish the mclaren wheels. Then I can swap them out whenever I feel the urge.

Just do the inside spokes and not the face and I think you will be happy with those....
