It can be done... here's a pic where somebody painted them gold for a Special Edition Trans Am. Looks killer in my book.

Do you already have the wheels? If not, why not order them that way? Let me know, we can get them for you.

Give me some time jay and I'll swap them onto the Camaro and post 'em over @ nastyz28.com...they're headed there next. I'll do both 18's all-around and 18/20's.

TonyL,

I had those made by a local machinist buddy of ours,they are made from stainless steel bar stock and run $19/each or $400/set.All my friends run them locally in our vintage Trans-Am club:

Obviously it would be easiest to just order them w/the 'cast' coating. But, what if you have a set of polished TT2's already & now you want the 'as cast' looking centers?

Any recommendations?
