Wheel Update
I spent the better part of a Saturday afternoon with some aircraft paint remover and a power washer trying to get the old paint off the wheels. This was a pretty futile exercise. The stripper lifted the clear pretty easily, but it is just USELESS on the paint. I think I will have to take them in to get sandblasted.
I was able to get most of the gouges out of the lips of the wheels with some 320 grit paper and an DA sander. I still think I will paint over the lips, however, and just go full silver for the wheels.
I also fitted up one wheel on the front of the car. I think 7″ is really as wide as you can go without hitting the steering linkage. ET25 really is just about right, too. I think I will have to run 195/50s for tires and roll the fenders as well, just to be safe.
