Miller Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 So, some may know my build of the 82 is going on and part of it has involved wheel shopping for my new suspension and steering setup. I haven't been able to make any definitive choice on wheels (if you have to know I'm leaning towards staggered rfp1's). My brother gave me a free set to use so I can stop worrying in the mean time and get to work on the car. I need to get it together and dialed in for track days that I've registered. He gave me these and I would like your opinion on if I should run them with /or without center caps (because I they didn't have them currently) and what color they should be powder coated. http://www.andysautosport.com/images/small/capital_wheels/sm__cow-3307a.jpg http://www.andysautosport.com/images/small/capital_wheels/sm__cow-3307c.jpg They are 17x8's and I'm thinking: Bronze Black Gunmetal Here's the car http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=794&pictureid=6737 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 With centercaps, but I don't think that they fit on the fronts with the center caps on. Dust cap for the bearing gets in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 With Caps, if you can find a way to make them fit. Gunmetal will look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Electroplate them using copper and polish to mirror finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 How are you 5 luging it? If the ranger rotor way you will have issues with the cap. 2nd I would spray paint them silver because those wheels are so common you would never get enough out of them to make powder worth the while.

Ryan218 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I had the same wheels on my 89. In silver.
