Default Re: Wheels Mounted - What do you think?

clean off the flats on the outer lip after you re-color them....aren't the tops of the spokes supposed to be natural too ?

The painter tried applying some clear over the exposed magnesium and it did not take. He did this for protection as he feared that the metal would oxidize with enough exposure to the elements. You guys have to remember... I DRIVE this car whenever I get the opportunity! I am not going to worry if the wheel splashes in a puddle or anything. This is the one car that never rides in the trailer.

I have talked to other members of the board who have KH Wheels on their Camaros and I have recieved information from both sides of the spectrum. If you look on LVCamaro's 1970 DH Camaro or Kim Howie's FG Camaro Drag car that is the correct shade of gold. Although, the biggest difference between the wheels is the outer ring. On LV's wheels the ring is exposed, while on Kim's they are painted. Mine will remain painted -- at least for now. BelAir, The spokes on the wheels are not bare metal (not in the research I have done). Thanks very much for the feedback! A call to my painter will be made tomorrow sometime. I will keep you guys posted.
