Re: 1970's Z/28 wheels and F60 Wide Oval tires
Not to be critical of these wheels (a good buy for someone) but no powdercoat can duplicate the finish GM used in these Z28 wheels. It is extremely tough to do right, very time consuming and rarely do you see a car with redone wheels that are right. Color can be attained relatively easy, it's the very coarse (like 180 sandpaper) finish that is so difficult. Restoration suppliers sell some.........not even close to right. I just did a set, helped by a friend who hit on a formula a while back and passed it on to me. I got em dead on, but had a hassle for sure. The good news is my NOS spare is right on to them. If you are willing to go the effort, let me know. It can be done.
