Well I was at a local custom car shop/dealership with some friends and noticed some stock 7th gen gt-s wheels that had been painted black. asked about them, and they said they'd sell them for $150 for all four wheels. They need a little TLC and new tires, but hey for 150, I figured it wasn't a bad deal. Heres a pic:(sorry for poor quality, I had to take it with my cell phone
 ). They have a little curb rash and need repainting, but the black should look good. One question though, can someone give me some info on how to refurbish these wheels..? I know I need to prep them, and sand them down, then I can paint. But what grit sand paper do I need? Also will tires be more expensive than the ones on my stock 6th gens? -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"
