I actually finished all four wheels a while back. I'm doing a ton of other stuff on the car right now and kind of opened up Pandoras box with what started as just replacing the PS pump and crank seal. Anyway, I'll post some finished pics on the car when I get the car back on the ground hopefully in a week or so

Well, I would have liked to update this thread with a picture of the car sitting on all four restored wheels but I can't. Because some bastard stole my front two wheels and tires Friday night.

Sorry to hear that... someone stealing stock 3rd gen wheels seems like alot of work for not much gain on thier part. I guess they just looked that good

That's sucks but like already stated, they looked that good that somebody stole them but they only have 2 of them. You can find 2 more of those and paint them the same. I actually copped some 17's but planning on doing the paint to my factory wheels.

Bringing this back from the dead. Did you ever get replacement wheels? How has the paint held up?

Yes I had several extra OEM wheels and put two of those on it. I never bothered to paint those though so I have two painted and two crummy OEM finish ones. The paint has held up perfectly fine on the painted ones though
