Familiar with powder coating but never heard of this. Is it baked on also or after baking.

Sub'd for more info. Look great!

225/60/16 is the stock size.

They look very nice. Stick with the stock size tire on these.

I want these badly they look sexy

Turns out all 4 of them were bent. 2 were severely bent. i drove an hour away taking time off work trying to get a wheel repair guy to fix and it had too much lateral bend so i junked it the other cracked and he could of welded it but i junked it too. This was a very wasteful experience i had to go through

that blows, i feel for ya. those looked real nice.

Definitely know that feeling. First wheels I ever bought I saw on Cragislist. The only reason I even went there was because they were Mille Miglia wheels that are really hard to get ahold of, guy told me they were in "great" condition except for a little corrosion. I drove a full state (eastern PA to eastern NJ) to get them, paid a decent price, spent a week cleaning up the caked on brake dust and fixing up the paint manually.

Finally got them to a condition I was happy with, bought tires, went to have em mounted. Tech is gone forever, finally comes back out and tells me 3 of them are bent. I had him mount them anyway because he said he might be able to balance it out. Nope, it was like driving on a bumpy, uneven road all the time, they were horrible.

I threw em up on ebay with a full "bent" warning, they sold to a guy who claimed he was able to fix them.. I told him how bad they were, got most of my money back thankfully. Lesson learned the hard way, I guess!

Yea that blow exactly one reason I don't buy used rims unless it's from a friend etc. only so much you can spot with your own eyes.

AND the last picture is what you get when someone @#$#s you over!

I have the snowflake wheels on now, the ones with triangle shape (shiny but not my style) Im not sure what to do with these wheels. I went to a junkyard and they want 50 per wheel or 150 a set of their own junk wheels so maybe if i go in with mine that look mint and tell them i want 200 for them and maybe they can get 250 they might do it?

try that photo, having problems uploading.
