Painted my winter wheels

[BeaverMeat]

Painted my set of 740 steelies GM “Arctic/Dover” white. (Hey, I couldn’t find Volvo Duplicolor locally). At least I annoyed my neighbours with constant wire-wheeling for an afternoon… then the smell of paint for a week.

Added a “Volvo in sports” decal like the Group A car… advantages of working at a print/sign shop. The decal is a test fit. Thinking of changing the location to edge of edge of the rim instead. Opinions?

Well… I’m all set for winter.

If you could print more of those stickers, I'm painting a set of steelies and would love a set. Looks great

Decal looks good where it is IMO

I think it looks great right there... and I kinda want set of stickers, but in white.

I could make some. You’ll just have to pay postage.

Those steelies are awesome, where did you get them? NOS?

 

[BeaverMeat]

I found them used locally. I had to combine two pairs to make a set. They were listed on FB market place at the same time 100 miles apart oddly enough.

They were in fairly good condition except for some pitting on the bead hook in two of them. Just wire wheeled the crap out of them and used rust paint.

Hopefully I don’t have any bead problems from overspray… should have masked them better.

They look fantastic! Would you mind if I copy them?
