Yea that is a good idea is that wheel paint at autozone worth anything or should i get a hard enamel. Never used it but figure its for wheels so should hold up ok.

I used the metallic silver Duplicolor wheel paint that looks like the factory silver on a lot of factory wheels. They have been on about 1 year/12,000 miles. I sanded them down and put a couple coats of the Duplicolor sandable primer, sanding between each coat. Then I used a couple coats of the silver, and a couple coats of the clear.

It went on nice and smooth and the metallic is even. Overall they still look really good. No discoloration or pealing, but they do chip easier than if I had used a good 2k primer and urethane automotive paint. I would say it was a good choice for a 10 year old daily driver.

Default Finally Got my tires

Well after couple months of waiting i finally got my tires. Went with 31x10.50 falken rocky mountain ats and they look awesome, kept my stock wheels aswell. The ride is great also, no bad road roar, but did feel lag when going up hill which was to be expected. Ill post some pics in a little while to see what you guys think.
