That bronze is sick man.....I bet that color would look sick on my IBM tc. May be a good project for the spring.

X2. I don't understand why you wouldn't just paint them all bronze. The face looks mint though! It looks closer to gold than bronze to me though.

Well, like I said, I wanted it to be subtle. I painted one before and the bronze inside the wheel looked tacky. So, for me this looks cleaner. And, the paint can told it is was bronze, so it must be true.

I love that people are taking on their own projects. That rim would look good on my arrival blue car...

Thanks! I just like to change things up once in while. I like the look of 19's, but I may go back to 18's for the weight savings. 18x8.5 F14's are under 18lbs.

OP: Leave the center caps stock. When you paint them, it makes it obvious that they have been "rattle canned" lol. They look much cleaner stock.

See, that's what I'm torn between. I want the Pontiac logo to stand out still, but it's way to small to mask it off and still look good.

Thanks very much. I love them, and I am so happy with how they turned out. It's especially cool when you do it yourself, you know?
