Chocolate Rocket Siting
Miguel crashed the party today at Oktubberfest '16. Always a pleasure to see Miguel and the chocolate rocket!

I asked Miguel about his wheels, he said they were Lindsey's. They do look really nice and are deep dish.
No I did not know my former car was on eBay, I'll have to take a look!

I have same rims but IMO the black center does not look as good on black as it does on brown. I need to figure a better color for the rims. Possibly gun powder or copperish?

I had a 1974 Carrera with gold center fuchs...that looked much better than the black, IMHO. I never liked the black centers as it makes the detail of the fuchs go flat and you miss the beautiful detail. For a black car I would think that a polished wheel would look best. Silver and black...can't beat that. You can set the amount of polish to your personal taste. Rahl |

Polished is too much work for me and the theme is dark and shiney rims would be too much hotspot.

smurf -- if you powdercoat, do it at as low a temperature as possible. Some wheel manufacturers, like BBS, advise against powdercoating because of the high temperature of the curing process.

when was talking to a wheel guy he said the reason he does not powder coat wheels is because they fade in the sun.???
