-=What to do with firebird salad shooters=-

[pyrokilla]

Seriously, has anyone stripped and polished them? Painted them or what? I need to see if anyone out there has thiers done nicely...

[whiteshark]

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. Btw, camaro wheels are salad shooters ;)

[StudlyCamaro]

yeah, i dont think that there is any hopr for thoes wheels.. but please feel free to prove me wrong, im not trying to be a downer, but thoes things are ugly

and yes camaro wheels are salad shooters, not firebird rims ;)

I think painting them black will make the salad shooters look the best salad shooters will ever look.

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...

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? Maybe they look more like cheese graters?

I like to take my chrome rims off in winter

;)

[Loochy88]

paint them black and leave the lip silver?

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 always thought "flower power" when I saw those wheels. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Are you talking about those swirly things? I've never liked them.

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?)
