My New Wheels
.....well sorta.
as some of you know my L wheels (which are the 18" chrome replicas) were in pretty rough shape...the chrome was literally peeling off of them.
Well thanks to neil (EOC) i finally got some tires that are road worthy put on them, and i decided to give them a little makeover.
Started with this
Started going to town with one of these and a razor blade
Gettin there
Thats sharp!
Inside done
Sanded the crap out of the face
NICE!
all said and done...i have about 3 hours in each wheel...not including painting
idk if i want to paint my other set of centercaps black or not tho...im kinda digging the cop wheels look lol
oh also i have SVT coils in these pics w/ half a coil cut...dont really think it dropped me any more than my other springs tho...that will soon change
Huge thanks goes out to my buddy neil, without his help my truck wouldnt look this good right now!

thanks for the compliments guys! im really happy with the way it came out! the paint is really 98% perfect
rustoleum 'performance' wheel paint. 2 thick coats of flat black and 2 thick coats of clear. the paint on the wheels look better than the paint on my truck lol
oh and i guess im keeping the caps chrome. everyone seems to like it that way
