Default check out these wheels

I recently had the wheels refinished and powder-coated by Glens in Tampa, Florida ...they make the car look much sharper

Very nice. Can I ask the ballpark for the service? I want my aluminum wheels to shine like that as well. Very nice.

Excellent - it's really hard to beat the look of those factory rims - esp. when shiny. What size tire are those? Are you happy with them?

I'm going to be in the market for new tires for my stock rims soon.

P255/60-15 ...this was an optional tire size back in 1979...in the past I used BF Goodrich Radial TA's...but have read alot of great comments on these tires...could not be happier with the total ride of these tires

Depending on exactly what kind of attention the wheels need and how you want them finished, $75-$100 per wheel is a good average cost.
