A lot of people dont like colored wheels but i think they would look bad *** powdercoated black or white or grey like the new 2001gt wheels. I have seen a white lx with black powdercoated pony wheels and i thought it looked cool.
But dont do it if you have the fan looking wheels that came on some of the late 80's early 90's 5.0's that would look ugly.
I think powdercoated 94-95 cobra would look bad *** white or black.

Powdercoat them black or gunmetal and then polish the outer lip

Ok dont get mad at me this is just my opinion. I love the powdercoated look especialy black. I am going to get mine done. When I bought my car it had turbine rims on it. The first thing I did is bought some 16" pony rims they look SOOOOOO!! much better. I bought my pony rims at a junk yard for 250.00 bucks. They were in good shape.

If you like the turbines, if you are ever near Odessa Texas look me up and I will give you mine. ALL FOUR OF THEM

But if thats just what you like good luck. Powdercoating the turbines should help them a little.
