Plasti Dip works great. No removal of the badges needed. Just tape a square section around the badges. The Plasti Dip is easily removed from the paint and stays on the badges. Just search Plasti Dip and I am sure a post or two will explain in better detail.

Hey guys,
I'm painting my rims tomorrow, but I just found a killer deal on rims/tires for the dodge.

I was going to put them up on craigslist but decided to post here first, pics tomorrow.

They'll be the stock 20" rims painted flat black, with 33" Pro Comp all terrains (275/60/R20) with 90% tread. Like I said, I will post pics tomorrow.

I bought the tires for $1100 new, and the rims sell for $800 for all 4 chrome ones used.

I'm asking $1,600 for all four rims and tires.

Update:
Decided to not paint the rims, but so far this is what I've accomplished:

Got the stick on Chrome handles off by breaking them with a flat-head and using gasoline/degreaser for the 3M left behind.

Tinted tails and third breaklight with Rustoleum Tail light spray on tint.

Mopar M, wearing it with pride. (I swear it adds like 30RWHP, took a WRX up to 110 on the highway )

Bedlined my side rails with Rustoleum bedliner:

You're going to go 9" on an IFS 4x4? Seriously??? I hope you don't plan on using that truck for much more than picking up chicks at the local high school. Seen that disaster happen more than once...

Well I was intending on it. I mean 6 inches of suspension is normal, and I don't see how a 3 inch body will hurt too much.
