sorry about pic. quality wrapped up late.

will have better ones tomorrow.

Not bad! Good to see what mine are going to look like shortly. I'm going to be doing the entire wheel though. I don't like just the face of it done...but the finished doesn't look too bad. What about some pics of the whole truck with them on?

i will be back with pics for ya.

yeah that first painted trial wasn't doing it for me so i painted center cap and around lugs. to give it a more finished look.

Looks good man, I'd like to see the whole truck to see how they look. I can't wait to paint mine. I think it will look really good with my tinted lights now.

as promised..

before and after pics and close ups....

Very nice! Thanks for the pics. It gives me an idea of what mine will look like in a week or so. I'm going to paint my entire rims though, not just the face and inside.

ya, for what little it costs its a nice upgrade....i thought whole wheel, but mine are mounted..daily driver. dont have time to take off all weights and get remounted.
but i am happy about the finished product..

be sure to post yours when finished.

Oh I will. It will be going in my build thread when I do. Mine is my DD too. I only plan on having my truck out of commission for a day or so on the weekend. I'm going to take the rims off the truck (leave it on jacks) and tape off the wheels.

Looks great man! Makes me wanna do mine even more :P

It's a very easy, and very cheap mod. It completely changes the look of the truck too.

nice job, they look great on the truck

I am going to get my entire rims professionally powdercoated next summer.

Black also, should look pretty good. I like yours.

thanks, i would go the powdercoated route, but my budget is set to backyard workshop.
there is a right way and then the afforded way.

Yeah, thats true. All my vehicle plans are slated for next summer. If they dont happen then they wont happen at all.

i painted mine my self, i just used flat black and it actually turned out really good.

I wanna do this to mine too.. but my blazer is white.. idk if it will look as good.. what do you guys think?

I would check the cure time for whatever paint you use. I waited 5 days before handling mine and I am glad I did, because they still look like new. Oh and I love black rims on white trucks.

Sisk, how many cans did it take?

Yo, it was warthogdriver that painted his rims :o

Sisk is on the launch pad, pro'ly waiting for a good weathered weekend

hey no biggie, just one can self etching primer and one can dupont wheel paint.

What ABN said. As I mentioned in my build thread I ran into time constraints last weekend and didn't get them painted. I'm looking at doing them this Sunday hopefully (I'm working Saturday).

I'm half assing mine lol. Regular paint, and plain old primer. I couldn't really care how long they last me though...I plan on switching them for either cragers or black steelies eventually.

I'm half assing mine lol.

I see you graduated the same mod school i did! :D
