Wagon Wheels

Maybe I am crazy, but I really like my OE Wagon Wheels. I really would like to freshen them up a bit though, and wondered if I am alone, or if others have the same thoughts. If you have pictures, I would be grateful. I am thinking about having them polished and maybe a different color background.

I like the wagons over the thin spokes. My '98 had chrome wagons, I sold those for $500, picked up a set of painted wagons and had them painted in high gloss black with lots of clear. Whatchya think??

I don't get the black wheel thing but as long as you like them that's all that matters. I'll say the car looks clean though.

They don't look bad at all chrome with that little black thingy on the spokes.

I also like the wagon wheels. I bet they would look great polished and clear coated.

Sorry but the black is not my cup of tea. I prefer thin spokes.

Tired of your chrome wheels? Give them a new lease on life.

Below are a couple of pics of forum member's (fixvet) '99 Torch Red.
