Re: refurbishing wheels Would you mind posting a pic of that original wheel? Looking like "argent" may be the color based on your post... Side question... Borrowing a set of Vette wheels for a week or two, can I run 255/45 and 285/40 and be ok on the rpm? It seems so but if like to confirm...

Re: refurbishing wheels thank you! that's helpful. at this point, I think we'll pick a medium GM silver and go from there...

i'm borrowing my buddy's vette wheels while mine are in the shop being redone. he's got 255/45/17 and 285/40/17 on the rear. my exhaustive research has concluded that this would be an appropriate size to run for a week or two? correct? thanks...

Re: refurbishing wheels Sy, Looks like we are doing the same thing... I saw an Argent/machined wheel they were doing and the centers looked much darker so I don't think that's it... It seems like they were just left bare cast in the center pieces and then just machined and I don't even think...

Re: refurbishing wheels ok, so there should be no actual color (silver) on the inserts? it's raw aluminum? and the face is machined?

i'm about to have the wheels refurbished on the truck... should i just paint the inside of the wheels a medium silver color, then CNC the face and clear coat the whole thing? i'm assuming they came with a cast finish on the insets and machined face from the factory? or were they painted? if...

Re: WTB Mint very low mile Syclone (performance mods ok) i saw one in PA recently - 52k miles and "perfect" asking $29,5 i thought it was a bit steep, but i can see if i can find the listing if that's remotely close to what you're looking for....

almost had a disaster today... while sorting through some things on the truck it started running a little rough - just started this morning... volts were dropping intermittently and gauges were going haywire... at times the truck would just shut off going down the road... i assumed the voltage...

Re: multiple questions, quick answers (i hope) i'll start with the plugs wires and cap and rotor then and go from there... i was told the previous owner remembered the guy he bought it from "hooking up his laptop to it and doing something to it"........ hope he knew what he was doing...

Re: multiple questions, quick answers (i hope) Thank you... I thought that 70+ seemed way too high... Is there a factory FPR I can adjust or should I add one? I'm not looking to change the ecm if I don't have to... But if it's a shit component, I'll change it... I may strap it to my buddy's...

i want to cover a few things in one post so i can be flamed as a newb who didn't use the search function (which i did) in one thread, as opposed to 5... i think i have some of the answers, so i'll pose some of these as statements (correct me if i'm wrong)... wheels: i want sawblades. got a...
