    Default FM5's on my 95 Z

    Well, I finally stepped into the baller wheels gang. I scored a set of 17x9.5 and 17x11 FM5 that needed some work and have ~30% tread left on Nitto NT05's. Eventually I will get new tires pull them all apart and refinish. I'm not sure if I can just strip the clear on the centers and have them re-cleared, or if I should strip the clear, do a brushed finish and then have them professionally powdercoated clear. I don't want to polish the centers, or powdercoat them a different color. Anyways, here are some pics of the cleaning up progress then some shots on the car:

    I love those wheels. I figured your either going to get a smokin deal on some that need work or pay the $$ for some nice ones.

    Yup got a pretty good deal on these 1700 with tires. They took some work to make presentable tho, and still want to strip the centers and do a nice refinish over the winter..

    Man, one of my all time favorite F-Body wheels. They're going to take some serious work but will look totally baller again for sure.

    Thanks guys. They're looking good after a good polishing and cleaning for this season, winter refinish should be fun tho.
