You have any other pics of your car? - I have never seen GN wheels painted all black and would like to see it from farther away...

I run my radials at 18 all the time...They seem to wear better that way and I have not noticed any ill effects to handling.

I would also like to see more pix of the all black wheels.

Also. Is it very common to have to roll the lip when putting 275/60/15s on stock gn wheels?

black out wheels

after considering many wheel options i opted to stay with the original 87 wheel which we all know screams Grand National just wit more of a sinister look to me. I still love my AR torque thrusts , just changing the look for a few months. Better than leaving a 2nd set wheels to rot away and take up garage space.

they were easy to do. First i sent them to the powder coat guy to get then sand blasted. i opted for urethane paint with clear coat rather than powder coat because you can get a much higher gloss with urethane in my opinion. So off to the paint shop and wallah high gloss black stock gn wheels. i then wanted something different to make the wheel pop, so i added a reflective black 5/16ths vinyl stripe around the perimeter of the wheel so when on coming lights hit it lights up. i just used the stock lug nuts





and bolted then on

I'm curious about that lift you have in the garage. Who makes it and where can I see some specs? Thanks!

The wheels do look nice that way.
