Replaced two broken off wheel studs, and replaced the other three one the driver side front wheel.

Hello,

Today I did spark plugs and wires on my 99 4.3 2wd Blazer. The #3 plug wasn't so bad, I just slid the boot down and turned the steering wheel so that the flat part lined up.

Sad but true, today i put the blazer up for sale. Bought a new car and can't afford to keep both.
2012 Chevy Cruze 2LT RS in white getting 30mpg combined and 37 highway. even with car payments, i pay less money than i did with the blazer monthly.

$120-130 a week in gas ( $480-$520 a month) and am paying $260 a month car payment and $45 a week in gas.... yeah, gotta love new GM technology

So I was pretty mad yesterday(Saturday) about what had happened. But today I found some different maro wheels. These are 15x7 with 4.5 backspacing and they should fit a whole lot better than the 17x9. I think I'm going to go ahead and put them on and ride around with them to see if like the silver. If not, they will go to powdercoated black in a couple weeks. I think you can tell I like my wheels black!

I thought they were in great shape! Here is a pic. (Don't mind the tires, they are from the camaro lol. I'll change them)

15x7 maro wheels with center caps


And these are the 17x9's that don't fit. Aren't they beautiful...


They are for sale. Pm me if you are interested. I have mint condition center caps for them too!

lol.

Are you talking about the ones I got today? The silver ones? Yes. What's your opinion on them? Do you like them silver or do you think a powdercoat black would look good?

What do you think about powder coating the valleys of the spokes up to the edge of where the circular rim starts? Or the top edges of the spokes instead of a complete black powder coat?
Basically the valleys are on one level & the valley top edges & tire bead seat are on another equal level. Powder coat one or the other.
