I Love old Lorinser wheels. The New ones just aren't as nice, these are probably my first or second favorite wheels. It looks very agressive with the lowered stance and the Lorinsers. Congrats Can't wait to see post paint, I'm sure it will look great.

Typically in that kind of a repaint the outside mirrorbacks would be painted body color, also.
It is a really good looking example! Nice lowering job also, you may someday want to have euro lights put on the car too.
Those Lorinsers looks beautiful, Are they 16" or 17"? Or something else. They suit that car perfectly, and show off very well.

Here's my Ivory 380SEC. Already has euro's and Aero I's, although the rim's are in sad shape. Trying to get a nicer set for the car. Also someone has already painted the mirror backs as well. The car needs a complete repaint and a spot of rust to be repaired. Just turned 200,000 miles the other day. Still runs great.
yes the euros are sweet nice finish but i dropped like $180 on my headlight doors (bezel) so gonna live with it till i have the Itch or a set falls into my lap
