Well, looking at the end results that you got for $62.50 plus paint per wheel, you got on heck of a deal! Those look awesome.

Hepar,

Im curious what the backspacing on your wheels are.

 

[Hepar]

Hepar,

Im curious what the backspacing on your wheels are.

I'm pretty sure they have a 4" backspacing which I think is the same as the LC wheels.

Best wheels on the planet and good looking, too!

Can you still buy the center caps from dealers?

I was just going to say.... DAYUM!!! Those came out great! Nice work Jeff! :bigok: :trophy:

Hepar,

Im curious what the backspacing on your wheels are.

The backspacing is 4.5".

 

[BigFishAllDay]

The backspacing is 4.5".

Just to clarify this post... as SCRunner12 posted, the LC wheels have 4.5" backspacing.... the wheels that Hepar is running are ProComp 8069's... I have them too... and he was correct in saying they have 4" backspacing. The two wheels do NOT have the same backspacing.

Wow! Those rims turned out great. I'd love to know what steps you took. I am going to be doing something similar.

:redbrick: Dur, one of my many what was going through my head times. Thanks BFAD.

Yeah! How dare you question me! Actually, I would have believed you on the 4.5" backspacing and I always thought the LC wheels had the same as my Procomps.

 

[SCRunner12]

Haha, I know, I know. I'd be stoked if the LX & LC rims had 4" backspacing.

I wire wheeled the clearcoat off, cleaned with laquer thinner, sprayed them with green etching primer, light scuff pad, 3 coats of base, 3 coats of clear.

Looking back, chemical paint stripper would've worked better than a wire wheel on the original cleat coat. Had I used that I could've just polished and cleared them, but the wire wheel eats up the surface a little.
