Car is torch red. The canary yellow wheels appear to be of correct design for 1995 and i believe they are powder coated. Going to try a spot test with acetone to see if yellow can be easily removed. I don't have any pics right now but will post when I do.
Thank you, Arkvette

I'd like to see this... besides... without seeing the style of the wheel, it's hard to say if it is stock or not. The finish is not, but it could just be painted from the factory.

Thank you all! I appreciate all the info. I looked at some sites with 98 pace car photos and my wheels are dead ringers for them. If the wheels are powder coated or painted and I remove the coating what might I discover?.......Alloy wheel?........Steel wheel? I don't like the yellow color at all. Is there a possible market for these wheels?

that sounds atrocious!!! You might be better off scoring a new set of rims and using those as spares or racing rims... maybe selling them off??? I think you are in for a project trying to remove the paint and stuff from those rims. I'd suggest sand blasting myself.

Yes there is a possible market for your wheels. You might be able to sell them if you get some pics to some of the C5 guys or ebay....best to try. It appears you like the wagon wheel design (something I like too) and they can be found relatively cheap here on the forum. If you decide to keep them you can just get them powdercoated whatever color you like (IMO black wheels on a red car looks killer) Good luck

[QUOTE=ZF Six]I saw a car just like that on ebay a few months back, I wonder if it's the same one... anyway that was the only one I had ever seen.
Call up McDonalds, maybe they'll sponsor you

You are right, the car was on ebay early last summer. I bought it in June.
