    Default painted my fat 5 wheels..

    "Aluminum"

    Thought it would subtly go with the shift knob..

    pics of both.

    Got bored today.. only painted 1 side but i'll get around to the other side later this week.

    Thanks.

    They're so horrible in person.

    Runs, pits, and no prep.. just scotch brite pad, washed and spray.

    but i did clean the barrels pretty well.

    but they look good from 5+ feet away.

    I love your honesty! Most people wouldn't say that about their own stuff.... Personally, I think you should just Polish them, yes I know its really common but it looks so good.

    I effed up the lug hole when i tried chiseling out a stripped lugnut. so that's out of question. polishing is not gonna happen on these. and they're pretty much just decent looking beater wheels. saving for suspension and wheels. pretty much all i want at the moment.
