Wow is all I can say. Probably the best money I've spent on this car yet! The wheels are 7's and 8's and were originally finished in the stock 70's and 80's black centered look. They looked OK but were due for a refurbishment. I'd been toying with the idea of polishing the petals and center caps for quite some time and finally decided to do it.
I could not be happier with how they came out and Al and his wife are an absolute class act.

Al did my wheels last year. I was like a little kid when I opened up the boxes to see the finished product. They look great. Enjoy!!

The wheels look great Scott.
I have a question. Are the black lug nuts anodized or something so when you put a wrench, even a soft socket on them the black is not removed? I painted my nuts black & every time I remove a tire I have to paint them again. Man does that burn.

My biggest regret was that I didn't have Al clear coat them. But I'll polish and try that wheel wax.
