Here's a pic of the wheels during the powdercoating process. For some reason the powder seperated during baking and left little black dots here and there. I believe the wheels were originally the Ford 4X108 bolt pattern, but they bolt up to the hubs fine. Wheels come with studs, shank bolts and center caps. They were made by Rockwell, have no idea what the pattern name is. Price is $250 + shipping. I believe they are 13X6 but will get exact measurements for those who are interested. Had the finish came out to my picky standards, price would be $400+. Last set of wheels I shipped to NY cost approximately $50.
If anyone is interested in buying them and does not like the color, I can recoat them in a color of thier choice for an additional $100-150, depending on powder.
I really need to find a new home for these. They are collecting dust and I'm gathering up cash for the TII swap in the widebody.
Pics are as follows: top left, base powder sprayed, top right after baking, lower left, clearcoat sprayed, lower right, finished wheel. Base color is called smoke chrome. Actual color is not quite as dark as the finished wheel, but a little darker than the top right pic.

Since they are already coated, they would need to be stripped completely, then the lips polished and the mesh recoated. Way too much work and I am not setup to polish, nor will I be. I have no patience for it.
I can strip them, you find someone to polish the lips, then I will paint or coat the mesh. They are no fun to strip, did that once already so I could powdercoat them.
If you want to come up and take a look at them, we can discuss options.
