Today I swapped my 13" steel rims with hubcaps for the Turbo rims that I re-furbished. Here are some pics:

I gotta do my turbos. :cry:
Did you paint or powder coat them?
Very nice.

I spray painted them with Eastwood Vintage Wheel Spraypaint in silver. It's pricey, but it's good stuff. Then I clear coated them with some clear spray paint from Autozone.
