Some "new" wheels...

Picked up a set of 13x5.5 Appliance mags from the late 70s at the swap meet. They are goingon a friend's 1200 Coupe, so after getting some fresh rubber I decided to spiff them up a bit...

I wanted a slightly different look so after scrubbing them down I masked them off like so...

After painting, unmasking, and a good polishing on the lip...

A little side-by-side comparison...

And the set finished...

I love the way they came out (so did he), and should be putting them on next weekend...

man i want a set of those

 

They pop up every now and then. Usually cheap too. Best way to get some nice deep lip without huge offset or super wide sizes. You can't fit much tire on the front of a 1200 without fender mods or flares. These have 195/60-13s on the rear and 185/60-13s on the front. Should fit well with no rubbing but may have to raise the car a bit.

 

Believe it or not, that car has no engine in it! :eek:
