sorry for the delay guys. im just as anxious to see as ya'll are. it took him more than two weeks to just do one wheel. guess he is busy.

anyway, here is one in black. it is not assembled, just laid in place. keep in mind it would look a little better with all the bolts and a centercap. however, i'm not digging it. i dont hate it by any means. i've decided to have that wheel blasted and go silver all of them. its nothing different than they were factory but the scratches will me gone.

he says he will have them done 1st of next week. we shall see.

Took him a while the last 2 times I took something out there too . I used PowderPro in Murfreesboro the last couple times I had something to get done. He's fast, flawless finish, but he costs a little more. Normally 5 or 10 dollars higher on everything than the Gooch and you have the drive up there so fuel costs too.

I really like the black, but silver would look killer since its gonna match your car.

I like these wheels but i feel that you should have left them silver. Gloss black cheapens them and makes them look like lesser aftermarket knockoff stuff.

Lol I know. I've went out there before ready to let him have it for taking too long, but then you get there and he comes out very apologetic and is nice as can be. It would be like yelling at your grandpa, you just can't be mad at him.

He said in the OP he was getting them recoated since one had some minor issues anyway. Also Simmmons wheels were available in polished, silver, dark grey, black, and gold so gloss black was a factory color not a knock off color. Real Simmons are a painted wheel and custom coloring was an option so you could run across a set of red, green, or any other color if thats what the original buyer wanted.

you listen here fiveoho and you listen good. DON'T BUMP THIS F'KN THREAD UNTIL YOU HAVE PICS WITH THOSE WHEELS ON YOUR CAR. God damnit. I'm sick and f'n tired of opening this thread expecting to see them.

Maybe I should start a thread titled BOOBS, and bump it each week, each time promising pics of tits tomorrow

surprised no one mentioned anthricite... I think that would have been pretty sick. either way though I dont think you could make these wheels look bad if you tried. they are pretty nice
