1970's Z/28 wheels and F60 Wide Oval tires

These wheels were meant to be driver wheels and the choice to powder coat was made for ease of cleaning and durability. m

Mark. I think your pricing is for these wheels and tires are EXTREMELY fair. The NOS center caps alone bring around $700, new tires are aournd that too. The wheels should bring about $300-$350 for nicely restored set with trim rings and lugs. Good Luck!

Wish I had a Camaro or Chevelle to put these on! Looks like a bargain to me. Get them now before the ebay buyers pump up the price.....

George Lyons, The PPG paint formula to correctly refinish 70-74 Z-28 and 70/71 Chevelle SS wheels is DDL32961. This is LAQUER and the formulation contains a SUEDE additive which accounts for the Roughness(G.M. was trying to emulate a CAST LOOK) and DX685 Flatting agent which retards ALL the gloss. As well NO clear coat was used on these wheels.
George, Can you elaborate on the details, paint and process YOU used to replicate the Original Z-28 finish????

Bob G, If you want to further the ORIGINALITY of your wheels, look for ORIGINAL Lugnuts as I show below.....NOT the same part # replacements with SHORTER Crown.....

I have the formula on my web site http://ca.geocities.com/[email protected]. To get the roughness, you spray the last few coats from a distance and by the time the paint hits the rim, the paint is 1/2 dry which causes the roughness. I know it's not the way the factory did it but it's hard to tell the diff. Also don't forget to mix mix mix the paint so the metallic makes the paint lighter.
