old school rims

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

Shit, go figure, that guy finds the *exact* ones i was looking for (for the
twin i'm building).
i ended up finding something that was very close though:

only difference is that the face is curved on mine.
oddly enough, i had planned on the exact same color paint, only not
powder-coat.
i plan to use limco basf 3-part paint, worked very well on the rieger
wheels:

its only base-coat paint, and the stuff is VERY slick. hitting them with the
hose is all thats required to remove brake dust.
anyhow, if anyone sees any more of those flat-faced centras anywhere, please
lemme know.

does anyone remember which type those centras are? (his and mine)?
