Bassett D.O.T approved Nascar wheels.

Will be painted dark blue, as petty had his wheels at one point.

Thanks Dave.

No not yet car isnt at home at the moment. But this car (not mine) will give you an idea of black wheels even though they are not the same wheel

and this is the real deal with the dark blue im looking for.

And this is my car as it is at the moment (pic from its Classic American shoot)

Or another of my car with 1 black and 1 stock wheel

Looks good on black and blue.

Just need a rattle can and a stencil for the big Goodyear Eagle text!

Must admit I do like the black.
But I suppose if your going for the full on Petty look they have to be blue

I can always paint them black again if I dont like the blue.

I prefer the black my self. Breaks the car up a little bit.

Still sexy as hell In blue mind.

Thats why I like the darker blue gives it a bit of contrast, I think the black is a bit too hard on the eye personally for me anyway
