Cool! Reminds me of the Chevy rims with the chrome outside trim. I painted mine too. I just did power coating though. But its the small things that make stock look good.

thanks guys.

The other black accents really pull it out of the rims and make them "pop". When the paint wears or chips off i'll get it powder coated like that, i really like it.

Should look good with the 4" of lift and 31" BFG M/T's comin soon.

Not nit-picking.... but now that your wheels look good.... your rusty brakes stand out through them. Get some brake paint (red, black, green maybe?) and paint the outside of the drums in the rear and your clipers in the front.

Its like that tv commercial. Thy lady fixes the lighting problem in the living room and then, with the new light, notices all the other stuff that is sub-par. Start with the item that is the worst and fix it, then move on to the next worst part... pretty soon you have more invested in the truck than its worth and damn near a new truck! haha Its a disease... we all have it.

Go paint your brakes
