    nah they arnt bad lookin at all, theyre kmc wheels so theyre not a cheapo brand, look like some old school rockstars to me lol. i think theyll look pretty good after i paint them ill throw em on and snap a few pics when i get them done.. might run them for a week or two then sell em hell why not

    got a wire wheel from work yesterday came home after workin 12 hours and went to town on the wheels. got all the flaking chrome off and then sanded em down, ready for paint now just trying to decide if i wana leave the faces chrome because they are not chipping at all and look great, just shoot the insides black and leave the faces or shoot the whole wheel black and forget about having to tape off lines?!

    Depends on how well you got the chrome off (and where the no chrome meets the chrome) if they look good just do the insides. If not spray the whole thing.

    plannin on using spray bedliner like last time, think ill have any problem with it sticking to the chrome as long as i sand em up good first? should i sand them then do a coat of self etching primer and then shoot bedliner on them? never done chrome wheels...
