i think it looks good, just go ahead and give it a nice coat of clear coat to give it that glossy finish and I think that it will look great!!

[Manny1337]

yeah i was thinking of that. not sure i want a glossy finish though i kinda like the flat thing. i havent made my mind up yet =P

[carsrus]

not bad, i have the same hub caps and was thinking about doing the same thing. My car is gray so i dunno if it would look to good, but that's pretty tight on your car.

[t3chnique]

could have just taken off your hubcaps if you wanted that look.

Better yet, get black rims!

yeah i thought of that but the steelies would need paint too =/. i figured id just do the hub caps and if i didnt like it id toss them and run just steelies but i think its good enough for now. and i wish i had the extra money for rims haha.

and thanks carsrus

i painted my factory wheels and they did look good but it's best to get them powder coated.

i think it was 350 with shipping from ebay

[Manny1337]

thats not bad at all. i wish i had some money for that lol

[JCamry94]

Looks good for the amount of work put into it!

When you don't have the cash for rims you gotta do what you gotta do

yeah..save for rims

[Manny1337]

haha everyone and their rims. i dont know if it would even be a good idea where i live. if anyone is familiar with springfield ma theyd know how poor this city is and how many huge pot holes there are around. i know 3 kids that wrecked their rims in a matter of months.

haha yeah I know what you mean. I live in a place where potholes are as big as turkeys and people love their rims(the bigger the better) I can't even begin to tell you how many bent rims I've seem.

Plush, Looks awesome, Is that flat black powder? I just put some black wheels on my expedition and had one heck of a time finding black lug nuts but it was worth it.
