I love the finish on the wheels looks great. I have had the Kumho SPT's for about a month and they are fantastic tires. Can't wait to see them on the car.

Have you used these tires? My Kumho SPTs are much better tires than the ES100s I had previously.

i love em.. waiting for the tires to get mounted, i took them to this one man garage (reccomended by car enthusiasts in my area) and told him no rush since he's got a lot of other work currently, they'll probably be done in a day or 3. as for the naysayers, oh well, its my car, i like it, and it'll look sweet once they're on. i could have gone for gunmetal or something like a lot of other people have, but keeping the silver vein was not only cheaper to get them redone, but also unique, and IMHO, better looking. i'll post pics as soon as they're on the car (probably this weekend)

Can any powdercoating shop do that same effect as you have on your wheels? What is the proper term for that anyways, or is it just another form/way of powdercoatin?

I beleive that is called "vein" Dont quote me tho.

 

[HoustinoJillian]

its silver vein, which is a metallic powdercoat. many shops can do metallic powdercoats, but some cannot as it requires a topcoat (clear in my case). the shop that did mine can do topcoats in a variety of colors, he showed me an example of a candy red topcoat when i dropped the wheels off.

Those rims will look awesome on your sho I'm running the chrome ones on my car and I always get comments on how good they look. I love the color of your sho sometimes I wish mine was blue. Good choice dude

 

[BlackonBlack89]

i think it looks awesome ...can't wait to see the pics of them on the car
i think u should lose the ford emblem on the center cap and put a yamaha symbol on there like this but thats just my opinion

yeah i was thinking about something like that... but i don't want to ruin the current centercaps and don't really know how to go about getting different ones? they are genuine ford items...?

They look awesome! Can't wait to see them on the car.

woah woah woah, sweet where do you get those yamaha stickers to put on the caps i have my new wheels with those caps btui i didnt stick the stuff on yet, i might have to get those.

 

[BlackonBlack89]

EBAY!!! love that place i think they are called fork emblems they were the perfect size too... like a 1/4 inch smaller than the team dynamic sticker the wheels came with. i need to buy an extra set because one of the stickers didnt stick to good and is starting to lift up alittle but there others have still lasted too bad they only come sets of 4

Looks like SHO-N-GO's rims he had on his blue 93.
