Very nice!

The color is a lot brighter on the rims than I've ever seen for those, are they reproductions or refinished?

Thanks guys!
Imherenow, but of course!

Thinkin, yes the wheels were refinished when I bought the car. Debating on if I want to get new one with the original finish.

Carguy, don't think you would want the ones I have. They are refinished plus they are starting to chip paint.

Caddy, for some reason it got stuck on the grill. Lol

Nice car! But one of my pet peeves is a clean car with dirty wheel wells. Clean them up and put some of this stuff in there. it's awesome! It makes the wheel wells disappear and makes the car SOOO much sharper. Much better than spraying greasy armorall or the like and makes a much Blacker wheel well. try it- You will love it. I sprtiz once or twice a panel and spread it with a paint brush. A little goes a long way.

One more thing- Give me your rims....now.

Completely agree... cleaning the wells even make the wheels/tires look better. Another great product for this -> http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...ortby=ourPicks

Thanks again fellas. I usually spray the wheel wells but this time it was a quick wash because I had to get back to work. But I'm really debating between keeping this finish on the wheels and get them repainted or get the original finish. I do like the factory look but the painted look of these also look good and gets a lot of compliments. Decisions, Decisions!!

what do you spray your wheel wells with? I would try a dedicated undercarriage spray if you have not yet. You wont go back.
