So let me know what you think. I worked on this all last weekend. I started early Saturday morning and finished late Sunday night. lots of stripping, sanding, filling and waiting for paint coats to dry. It is hard to tell from the before photos but they were dinged scratched and hard to clean up. Now they are clean and look new.

Its definitely a different look. Without the chrome lip, they look more like the Torq Thrusts now to me because there isn't a definite lip like the Bullitts. I like the look. If you were ever to change wheels I think going to a different rim like the all black Y2k Cobra R's would look badass too man!

I think it looks good! Its def. something that you do not see everyday for sure, and you will get a lot of comments on it!

I have always liked the blacked-out wheels look. It makes the car look serious. I'd be hesitant to line up against you at the track!
