Close up Shot 4

Flat black, I'm really glad the way they turned out and quite a few people have asked me what I used and what not. Just a little dirty here, those marks on there just run off from the tire cleaner when they got balanced with the sticky weights and what not.

What do ya think?

I think nothing looks better than a nice set of black wheels. Good job.

Haha I didn't realize that I used "What not" so many times. But I think the wheels just changed the whole attitude of the truck. When I'm about to get in it every time... Just makes me smile

I sanded them down (obviously) then cleaned with paint prep. Sprayed 3 or 4 coats of a self etching primer I bought from Wally World, almost left them the Army green LOL But then just a flat black from Osh's brand spray paint. I'm thinking of laying down a clear flat just for extra protection.
