I highly doubt you could do anything with them, you could chrome them and they'd still look like crap imho. Sell em or use them for auto-x/drag racing.

Wow, thanks for the input. I have "real" rims, I'd just like to think that the old stock ones I have in my garage have some use...<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=401701\" target=\"_blank\">3.4L Red Firebird</a>Comment

uhhhh why would you want to switch to salad shooters? Do you not have those chrome 5 spokes?
Wouldn't stock 94 firebird wheels be called salad shooters too?

I'm doing the same thing as you. My salads will be put to use this winter, so I can save my chrome 17's for nicer weather.
Do like loochy said, and paint the salads black with a polished lip [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Maybe even a polished center cap too ;)
Even though the salad shooters aren't the best looking rims out there, they still look better than the stock 93 firebird rims...yuk!

what is winter ;)
... but serious, painting them a gunmetal color might make for a unique look.

I checked with a local powder coating co. They said $80 each to sand blast & paint. Lots of angles to blast is why it would take so long to blast them. If its just for winter I would clean the hell out of them & spray them with a quality rattle can.(Is there a quality rattle can?)Comment
