Finally added matching wheels to my car

Before




And after





I definitely did some overspraying of the two wheels on the back but happy to have 4 matching wheels finally installed + having had the learning experience.

Lookin' good!

You mentioned overspray. Did you use rattle can paint and get overspray on the tires? If so, you can use lacquer thinner and a brass/steel brush to remove it from the tire. Just make sure you wear PPE when you use the lacquer thinner.

Wheels and tires do effect a positive change in the overall appearance of most cars.

I know you are pleased with the results. New tires/wheels are an easy one day 300% improvement on any vehicle. Yours by the way looks really well kept and original. Nice work.
