I got mine at Wal-Mart for around $4. I also used the RUSTOLEM auto primer. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T USE A CLEARCOAT ON THIS PAINT! It will turn the color to a dull, dark gray. Please learn from my mistake. I tried about 5 differnt brands and types of clearcoat, and they all turned out the same. I had to strip the paint and redo the whole thing. It was a pain in the rear...so take my advice. The paint will still hold up just fine as long as you only clean it with soap and water. You must have missed my multiple posts on the clearcoat and chrome paint... Josh Aka Spectra SVT 02 Dark Highland Green F-150 XLT Mods: Gunrack and cowboy boots

I looked at every aftermarket rim for the tour for months while i was saving up, and the first time i saw these on 98RedSVT's car, I knew that I had to look no further. I am VERY satisfied with the results so far! Thanks for the all the great comments guys! I want to give a special thanks to 98RedSVT, without seeing your car I would have never bought these rims and it wouldn't look as great as it does today! "A FEW MODS RACING AGAINST ALL ODDS"

I would love to decrease the fender gap on my car but some mods seem to lower the cars too much. Yours looks just about perfect with the rim/tire combo. Adrian 1999 Black/Tan SVT SVT #?

The Eibachs are lower in the rear than in the front, and the H&R's are just the opposite...giving the car a "raked" look which i like much better. "A FEW MODS RACING AGAINST ALL ODDS"

At first I thought you painted the grill but on closer examination it looks like you replaced with an actual woven mesh. It it just a great paint job? If not what did you use to replace it with? It looks great! Adrian 1999 Black/Tan SVT SVT #? Born on 8/03/99 the loan.
