My 99 GT came with gt wheels of course but they are not the 35th edition wheels (the polished ones). I really like the way the polished 35th edition ones look and i was wondering, is there any way I polish my existing stock GT wheels to look like these? If not what kind of a place could i have this done at?

I hope you guys know what im talking about, the stock gt wheels for 99+ stangs are just silver powdercoated, the 35th anniversery ones had polished hubs and looked real nice...

I dont know if you could get your wheels like that but its worth it to look into it i guess..

I know they have the center of the spokes painted argent or whatever the bullitt rims are on the '01 bullitts

may just be cheaper to find a set on ebay or somewhere

I think the chances of you successfully changing from painted to polished are pretty low... I would just test the process with a single rim first...

I don't think the 35th wheels are polished, they are machined and are a little different style.
