Big Thanks to Paul @ RPM Custom!
Paul (HardcoreZ28) at RPM Resto & Custom powdercoated a set of draglites for me. I gave him the wheels in pretty rough shape and he worked some serious magic on these things...Excellent finish inside and out on these... pics really dont do them justice.... Thanks Paul!

Can't wait to see em even though I should have already :-?
|
They came out really nice and look better in black. I will light a candle for your 10-bolt tonight.
|
Glad you're happy with them. Was busy all day painting the Firebird in the shop. I'll have that number for you soon man.
|
The wheels should look sharp once on the car! Looks good
|
did you weigh them before and after? Curious to see how much weight was added to the rim.

The rears weigh 14 lbs, and fronts are 9 lbs....bathroom scale calibrated with a 30 lb dumbbell :rofl:. I guess you could dig up the bare weights somewhere online. |
15x10s are around 11.5 lbs I think.
|
Got me looking...Info from weld's website:
15x8 rears are 12.95lbs, 15x3.5 fronts are 9.75lbs |
So the fronts lost weight..
|
Kirk i need to get me one of these scales. It will make me feel better about myself...
|
In conclusion, my bathroom scale is magical and powdercoating wheels was a terrible idea because of all the weight :lol:
The rear wheels with tires weigh 33lbs, and the fronts are 21lbs with tires. Even with all that powder weight, it will be a 75lb difference in rotational mass from the replica zr1's and tires I run now... |
