RE: Painted my swirlies!!
Looks very nice. I never really liked the swirles before, but now that you painted them they look awesome. It looks like maybe I'll have to make a trip down your way to get mine painted **Wink,wink**, jk thats a long drive and I can probably manage them myself to. You should write up a designated How-To after you are done. They look a lot better. I just have to figure out how to do it to my 4x4 rims.

Might as well since I have one rim left to go. Maybe this time it will get sticky status at least.

Looks reallll good! It really brings out the stripe on the side of your blazer too. And lennyblazer I was thinkin about painting the 4x4 rims...but couldn't figure out where to stop the paint! I was considering painting the sloped parts black and making it look like a narrow 5-spoke rim...butttttt I ended up getting a set of Rock Crawlers..ohh well.
I'd be interested to see a write up on this if it put emphasis on the prep work and finishing steps. I'm sure I could handle masking/spray painting...but all that wet sanding stuff...man I'm no good at body work.

yeah I almost did a doble take on the swirlies they look aftermarket and look pretty sweet. Yeah I have the 5 spoke 4x4 wheels not the LT styled wheels so its difficult to figure out what to paint. Guess i should take a picture and go into photoshop or something. I thought about painting the entire rim like a drack gray/charcol, but I am not sure how that will look.

Yeah, my rims look exactly like the ones that otnietdehoooo has . I was thinking of maybe changing them, but I think I will just leave them black. Also, dose anybody know where I can get repacement disks that cover the lugs? Whoever owned my Blazer before me mangled mine all up.
