I agree with J-Hop we need some more threads.
OK here is an idea I am thinking of. I bought the Hydra's from Rick Sr. and although they are in excellent condition I am thinking about having the finish stripped from them and then poishing the alloy to a very high gloss. I think it would look very cool on the Black 740 :!:

Any thoughts or insulting comments :?: :?: :?:

You talk funny and you smell of wine. How's that for insulting?

Okay, I've never seen polished Hydras but yeah they might look alright on your car. I'm not a big fan of polished wheels myself, but they might look okay since they're fairly angular.

As long as you don't polish them up to "Bling factor" I'd have to say it'd look a bit hot. Oh, and you smell like wine. \:D/

Have you decided if this new job, being less hands on - is Less than or equal or greater than "Don't hate"

What do you do about the centercap? Leave it off, leave it silver, or get it plated?
