Also had to swap column's since the assclowns I bought the car from lost the keys and had no idea how to simply hotwire or "Properly Steal" a GM car . . .

Thanks they've been a real pia to do. I've had to strip off all of the orig paint to get the surfaces smooth again and I am really sick of masking them! Not to mention after I had two of them already done I decided the paint was too dark and started over again :crying Only 1.5 left and then I'm done with the whole set.

Well I am going to clean up the raised areas of the wheels but I'm really not into the hi-polish look. I just cant stand the chrome versions of these wheels so I want to stay FAR FAR away from anything that looks like that!

Looks great, Im not looking forward to when I get around to doing that to my wheels, but I do want them to look go so I guess I have to deal with it.

Hey shouldn't this be posted in the brand new F-Body section ??? :banana

Ya, but this thread was started b4 we had one!!! I'll be puttin the new ones in there later.

It sucked doing these wheels. Especially since I know I am going to have to do it again when I paint the car this winter! Oh well. I'll post some pics from the ordeal later.
