Halibrand (replica) Painted Centers?

Gloss. Satin looks almost flat. I like mine Satin, my thinking is that you want yours to look somewhat glossy. Powdercoat Gloss

Mine are powder coated gloss black with a hint of metal flake to match the stripes.

Had mine painted in flat black.1) find some someone who really knows what they are doing so nothing gets in the center,etc. take the tires off and have it done right 2) don't paint any surface that mates up with the spinners.3) make sure to cover up the pin drive holes as well.

I would go satin before gloss. Gloss highlights to many egdes on this style wheel.

Here is a pic being metalic gunmetal with a satin clear in powdercoat.

Jeff. As I recall, the only ones that were gold were the sunburst wheels on the 427s. The standard magnesium wheels were the unpolished white cast of natural magnesium. I don't remember the gold until the sunbursts.

Jeff Frigo - That stunning blue Contemporary used to belong to Jeff Gagnon, aka 1985 CCX - he sold it a while back. He has "seen the light", and is now building a small block car.

Danr55 - I've seen a lot of Cobra wheels, and I don't recall ever seeing any gold-tinted Sunburst wheels. The only ones I have seen with a gold tint were the "Cobra II", or GT40 magnesium Halibrands, and some of the tri-bar knock-off spinners.

Check out Ron's Red Shelby on the Acton Custom website. Gorgeous car with gold wheels. Just give it a few seconds as the pictures scroll.
