I am saving up for some RAM 20's Devils... then we are going to powdercoat them black with a nice silver lip...


just gotta save up the 1500 first...
Why not just buy some black 20s that are lighter with rubber for cheaper?

If you have the time, and elbow grease, polish them to chrome like finish. This requires a lot of sanding/dremeling, and buffer wheeling. After the raw metal is at a mirror shine, hit them with hi-temp sealer or they will rust. Did this to a friends Acura. Looks great. But not doing it again unless I'm paid well.
