are you thinking of doing it yourself or having a shop do it?

If you're doing it yourself, my one tip for you is to make sure the wheel is CLEAN!!! Sandblast, sand, scrub, do whatever you can think of to get that thing clean. If there is a chunk of stuff on there that won't get polarized and then the powder won't stick to it.

If you're having someone else do it just make sure to inspect it when you get it back I guess...

Understand you're trying to save cash, but just a thought

I swapped mine to black bullitts. And I was surprisingly able to get a decent amount of cash selling the stockers which offset the cost of the new ones quite a bit. There are a lot of V6ers and people with GT's who don't have the bullitts that would be interested in them.

Another advantage to keep in mind w/ getting new ones is that you can go deep dish and run some wide ass tires in the back, which looks way better than the 245-275's, IMO
