15x7 Western Minilites
I picked these wheels up a few years back out of a wrecking yard for $100. I've finally got around to working on them and didn't realize just how bad they were but I'm almost done redoing them. After almost a week of welding, grinding, filing, sanding, primer, paint, and soon to be polishing I hope to use them on my 68 Valiant after I order new tires. Instead of BFGs I'm leaning towards Cooper Cobras or some Fire hawks. Originally I had planned to paint them body color but after seeing them on the car they made it kind of look like a Lincoln Continental so I went with 500 deg high temp gloss black after some bondo high build primer black and then some high temp clear. It was tough picking a center cap as the originals are expensive and kind of ugly in my option. I almost went with some spinners but didn't think they would look right either so I ordered some derby center caps from summit for $30 shipped. I would like to have some 3d decals made for the 1" center using the grill emblem. sorry for the upside down pics.
