Just wanted to post this out there. I believe there is someone who might enjoy this After about almost two years, the new wheels are FINALLY on the car. And boy do they make the Yellow Cuda stand out. Can't wait to get more pics at test n tune here in a couple weeks.

Thanks for your help, you know who you are

I vote for flat black on the drums also! That's how i did my dart, which has prostar's on it also. I think colored drums behind the wheel take away from the wheel's appearance. That's just my opinion though...

If the drums or rotors are painted any color other than black, it looks very "ricer" to me.

I would recommend a rust neutralizer product first then paint,I have had good luck doing that route.All my car has ever needed was a different set of wheels,just have not been able to make up my mind which ones.Those are on my list,my car has 80`s appliance (mariachi wheels) my brother calls them.

The car is only expected to run 11.80's. I'm not sure if they are 7/16, I'm going to say no. But not sure. I do know that we have been running these studs for a good 5 years and I have not had any problems at all. I'll have to check on that. Thanks for the info.

Sounds like flat black is the number one choice. Think I might have to do that this weekend.

I know, I know. The car is still in the garage. Dad has made a BUNCH of changes to it over the past month trying to get it ready for test n tune on April 5th, and then off to Pinks All Out at Z-Max in Charlotte April 24-25. But don't worry, I'll make sure to get the full car picture taken here soon.

Can't wait to see you guys! Hopefully you'll be at the Classics again this year.

If I know your dad that car has a 1/2 stud in it. Easiest way to check is just grab a 7/26 and a 1/2 wrench and see which one doesn't go over the threads.

You guys must have made a few changes if your hoping for 11.80's

IIRC you were running mid 12's

What did you change
