Project: Phat a$$ superman09's '99 Vette

nope, having them widened.

If you're wondering about the rear wheels.... the ones for the car are off and at Weldcraft right now getting 2" added to the Lips. After that the 345/30/19 Nitto NT05R's will be mounted to them

Good deal, your wheels look perfect on your car, I was gunna be bummed if you changed styles.
 
It is in final stages of prep right now, Should be cutting the quarter panels in tommrow night then they will be getting bolted back on, I'll get some pics up as soon as I get a chance. Been absolutly slammed at work last few days tho.
 
wheels are in my car, will get pics when I get home from work tonight. They look great and definitely has some sweet dish on them now! Unfortunately the faces of the wheels got some new marks so I will be refinishing those.

Plans for the wheels is:
-polish lips on the wheels I had widened, mount tires, drive for now.
-when Kevin frees up shortly we are going to re-finish the faces and paint a bright silver as they are now and clear the wheels so up keep on the polished lips isn't needed other than washing

:thumbsup:
 
I just picked the wheels up yesterday and tested them on the car and they fit perfect with the L5 fenders! Kevin will upload those pics shortly. I started sanding on one wheel and have to start at 180 to get all the scratches out. I have 1 wheel now pretty much done at 180. I will do a little more 180 work tonight and then bump to 320! Plan is to go from 320 to 600 to 1000 to 1500 and some 2000 maybe :smash:

Here are some pics!

Hoping to have this wheel finished up friday night!
 
Worked a little more last night. Took them from 600 to 1200 and then to 2000. The polish I have isn't very good, hoping to pick up the good stuff here to make these pop even more!
