Guest RedCutlassSL Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 very nice...i like the wheels on the cutlass Quote
Redfox340 Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Pretty snazzy. Not sporty tastes, but definitely shows the more "refined" side of a W-Body. - Erik Quote
Brian P Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 for $9950 those wheels better be plutonium Quote
luminator94 Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Yeah, that's gotta be a couple grand over retail book value. :shock: Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 I like the factory 5-stars better! In fact, I think the Intrigue would have looked better with the old 5-stars. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 7, 2003 Report Posted July 7, 2003 Polished 5 stars would look good too. A good friend of mine from high school has a red 93 Cutty convertible with the stock 5-stars polished. Looks real good, they should have been a factory option. They would have looked real good on a triple black convertible. Quote
optimusprime Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Yea, it doesn't look too bad. I was thinking of getting either 5 spoke Cutlass rims or 5 spoke Grand prix rims for my Buick. My rims are pretty ugly. Quote
Heza Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 yeah, i think that dealer is stoned for listing the car for that much. Quote
Dannymik Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 How did they get the 5 spoke rims polished? Or at least how much does it cost to get them polished? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 My friend's polished 5-stars came on the car. He bought it used from a used car dealer. I imagine to polish one, you'd strip the clearcoat and paint off it, then go to town with a metal polishing compound and a buffer. Quote
Dannymik Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 Do you think I can strip the polish off of the these rims and paint them white? I want white 5 stars like the grand prixs have, but don't have the $$$$ for new rims. :? :?: :?: :? Here is the rim I want to change to white. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 1, 2003 Report Posted August 1, 2003 Sure. I think all you have to do is just clean them real good to remove any waxy or oily coating. Then I think you can get some metal prep stuff that will dull the polished surface. Last, you prime and paint. It'd be better to use a good urethane, air compressor, and HVLP gun. I don't think a spray can job will last. For wheels, I'd highly recommend spending the extra money and just taking them to get powder coated. That will be a much more durable finish. Quote
