Just picked up a set of steel 15x7 s
with the nubbs for the dog dish. These have been
used only in the summers by the previous owner
who sandblasted and painted them black , which is ok
but I'm going to go with body colour on the outside .
But a quick question , did GM paint the whole rim the body
colour or just the outside ?

 

It may depend upon the year or other factors. I say this because I recently bought two different sets of 15x7 SSIII wheels and one set is body color on the front but the inside (under the tire) and the backside are black, and the other set is all body color (front, back, and inside). I have no idea why they are different.

I know my eyes ain't what they used to be but I can barley make that out

 

Well I made the executive decision to paint the insides black and the outsides will be painted the body colour .As soon as the weather friggin warms up I can get them outside and start painting !

 

Good stuff! It's supposed to be nice and warm this weekend!

 

So what rim is on the car now? Just curious.

 

Well I have Chevelle/Corvette Rally Rims , not really what I want to have on there but they
did the job for now. But I'm going for the Dog Dish /Steelies look .

 

Getting ready for paint

 

Rims now painted and didn't turn out too bad !Looks a bit dark as compared to the pic of the car but ill have to wait until the tires go on and I can see it in the
daylight on the car.Either way its turning out just like I wanted .

 

well here they are done and installed ,the fellas who installed the tires on the rims were very careful and didn't nick the paint so i was happy,now just have to get my dog dish caps on which I'm picking up on monday and it'll complete the look .

 

That looks really good. Better then I expected.

 

Thanks Henry , It looks exactly like I wanted it too , just have to get the front end down a bit , it sits too high , got BBO springs in there .

 

the Dog n steels is a great look.....nice car!

 

Thanks !
