Thanks guys. Not a lot of people seem to fully black out their wheels on these muscle cars I have found, plus it looks a little tougher without any shine, so I thought it would work well for this car.

Looks good Dave, I like it.

I'll see them next time I am up there.

The black looks good Dave.

I also like how Rad Rides did theirs...a little break from real dark wheel centers with lighter color hoops.

Since your experimenting with single color wheels, another look that might work is an 'almost black' color, not quite black but definitely way beyond grey.

I like your thinking Skip. Funny thing is I already know the "formula" they used on that Nova's wheels for color/finish because I inquired about it awhile back. :)

That car is a very nice one to mimic in many ways!

If we powdercoat the other (3) wheels, we can always repowdercoat the outer hoops in a dark grey or something like on the Nova. The wheel has a good sharp transition that would allow for a crisp tape line....

Jason, that's 2 days in a row you've posted on here. Is that a new record for you? :D

We could powdercoat, but that Nova's outer lips are not powdercoated just FYI.... it's brushed and then something special in the clearcoat. :thumbsup:

Dave,

It is an interesting look on Notorious' hoops for sure.

As you know, it's the details that set these bad boys apart from one another.
