Hey guys!  I came across these on ebay and couldn't help noticing how nice the black powder coat looks on these wheels!  Anyone seen these?  Anyone done this before?  Too cool.

Looks like they were going for the NASCAR look, maybe.
I prefer them polished too. :yesnod:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I do think that they look cool, but not as cool as a good polished up (or even dull) set.

Man those things cleaned up nice. What did you use to polish your wheels? Did you get a kit from Eastwood or something? I have a set of slots for my 65 Dart  and my 77 3/4 ton powerwagon that need polished.

If I remember correctly, he had them professionally polished.

Rob, what size are those? 15x7's all around?

ChargerRob

There is this small shop in Azusa, CA that did the polishing for me. I about fell on my A** when I went to pick them up.
The best thing was they only charged me 30 bucks a wheel. Of course this was back in 2005.  :cheers:

These are 14" X 8" front and 14" X 9" rear

troy.70R/T

Those polished up nice. I would pay $30.00 any day to get slots polished that nice. Does anyone know of anybody that polishes them In Kansas City Missouri? Also I want to put them on my 70 charger but will 15x 8.5 fit well on the front? I have drum brakes all around. also I was hoping someone could reccomend a tire size that looks good on a charger? Any pics? I also don't have theses slots yet so if anyone has or knows of anybody that has some for sale please let me know. (non uni-lug) thanks Troy
