I picked up this 1989 Colt GT for TenSecondSti a few months ago, here is what it looked like when I bought it:

Alto of sanding piant and elbo greese later..... we have:

It came out amazing... the car was mechanically sound but now the body looks great to match. I just have to finish up a few trim pieces and do a little wet sanding/buffing but I brought this one back from the dead with the help of my good friend Scott and his amazing body work.

they're not the ugliest wheels to come out of the 90's if you have the original caps and you polish every bit of them, even the sides of the spokes. Since you don't have the caps though, I would just rattle can them a gloss black for now

I have a nice set of the lancer o-z racing wheels. In silver like they come. You can rock that way or paint to your liking.
