Mesh wheels just procured.....

[papabearxl]

Just picked up 2 gold T/A wheels, like my black ones I had tried to get rid of. Except these are 15x7.

Now I don't know if I should paint them and have all 4 gold, or all 4 black, and if they will go on the Salon, or the wagon...

Couldn't pass them up for $25 a wheel.........

I assume you're going to use the 15 x 7's up front and the 16 x 8's in the rear. I would also paint the centers black. Duplicolor makes a good durable wheel paint.
I have similar wheels, but FWD type on my Olds Ciera. I painted the centers black and the car looks great.

Yes, these will be going on the front.


The black ones I have are 16x8's, and am going to have to go with spacers.....the 16x8's were originally rears....
:shock:

You're going to need at least a 1" spacer for those rear wheels. Unless of course you found a pair of fronts to use in the rear.

Thanks for the reminder.... 😛

I had 1.5" spacers before that I was going to use, but sold them....will be getting 2 more.

Received the 15x7 gold wheels today, and am very happy with them.

Now I have to get 1.5" to 2.0" spacers for the rears (16x8, 6.5" BS), and decide on tires.

I don't want to go lower than 60 series because of the better ride than 50 series, so I am thinking 225/60-15 for the front, and would like to put a 255/60-16 on the rear. Tires and spacers will have to wait because of money right now, but that is the plan.

And I still haven't figured out the color for the rims.....black, gold, or I'm leaning toward a silver/gray........might be switching them around for the Salon and Cruiser if I'm in the mood, and will have to study hard on the color choice....
