dem dubs

lol, Im tired of trying to keep them clean and polished. Figured I'll just blast the wheels I have now and wax em every now and then and be done with it. Eventually I'll probably get another set of rims when I go to 35s but these will be good for now. And like silver said, if I dont like it, I can just peel it off.

i'm going to take the wheels off and clean them really good. Then I'll mask off all the rubber and git r done. Would be too much of a hassle to remove the tire. If I did that I would just powdercoat the rims so its done right. Sunday looks like it might not rain here for once so I may give it a shot then. Oh and my home depot only had 5 cans in stock lol, I bought 4 of them. You may wanna swing by there and check to see what they actually have and how soon they can get some more in case they only have a can or two if you decide to do the wheels.

Well, bigmac in this thread used 4 coats on his wheels and he used 2 1/2 cans. I bought extra cans just in case since I have more surface area and also I may not stop at the wheels. I might do my step bumper pieces, door spears, handles, and mirrors since the black is starting to fade.
