Those Enkeis still look sweet on there, man. I finally found a set of 18s that make me happy, too Enkei is one of the best brands out there, perfectly balanced and super sharp. My RPF1s on my Lexus are the shiznit forreal. Anyway just wanted to say I'm glad you still have your wheels on your truck

that looks awesome! you sanded the whole thing smooth? looks very worth it. think i might order a new 4x4 valance and do that so it doesnt have any deep scratches or wear marks. i painted mine last week but havent done the grille yet so i was waiting to go take some pics.

Blue, if you do that and can get a perfect PTM it would be sick!

Yeah I just had my painter do it and it turned out good I thought for $50. No Krylon, though it might do just fine. I just thought actual automotive grade paint and clear would hold up better in a place that is prone to rock chips.

Im going to pull mine off this fall before she goes in for storage for the winter and have it done just like yours but i try to stay away from spray bombing anything that can chip. That really looks great even with the texture in it still! want to do my rear window surround too. Thanks for the pics!
