What cha think

Decided after I spent all that time polishing the rims that I wanted to do something with the accent bolts on the rim face. Well I figured it out. Some were a tad rusty or trashed,

Then I took my dremel and sanded them down.

Then primed,

Then I painted them black and put them on. I think they really set the rim of nicely.



Now I need to paint the centers or throw the caps back in, well I have to find them first.

You need to market the rims and call them Ryan's Rims. Get a Patton on it and you may be on easy street! Looks good.

First off, they're called Wheels not Rims. The Rim is the lip that keeps the bead in place. Patton was a General in the US Army during WWII. A Patent is what you place on Items...

Sorry... Proper grammar is a peeve of mine.

Nice looking Wheels DAFBFD58. The black bolts off set the polished aluminum.

I am sorry people in Pennsylvania call wheels rims. Like down south they call a fishing rod a fishing pole. Ryan I like what you did to your Wheels! I stand corrected.

Hee-Hee-Hee, Don't you know when "Da Bruddahs" put 22 inch wheels on their 78 chebby Impalas, dey call dem "Rims" Bro? For what it is worth, I totally agree with you, I just couldn't resist poking fun at the kids calling wheels "Rims"...... By the way, I just noticed your Canada address, do you have those big wheeled cars in Canada as we do?

Yeah, we get the idiots up here as well... The dumbest I've seen so far: is a H3 on 28's with spinners and 1" of sidewall... or the Olds 88 lowered and riding on gold chromed 13" wheels..... Dumb & Dumber....

The funniest, was a Buick in Surrey, with a 2x4 wooden wing bolted to the trunk lid.

Hay come on everyone has the thing they like. I can't stand low profile tires on a truck but I have seen it done. If that is what makes people have pride in there ride I wish them all the luck. I belong to a car / truck club and when I look at a mustang all I can see is myself trying to get in and out. I would never own one but they sure look good and sound good. Everyone is not going to just work on trucks. I guess I may be wrong but everyone has there likes and dislikes. It by no means makes a person a idiot because of the tires and rims. This topic is about Ryan's Rims. whoops! Wheels Not what tires and wheels people have or how they describe anything.

What a freaking idiot.
Proper grammar is a peeve of mine.
WTF is that up in your location? eh? WTF is that? Proper grammar? Better go back to grammar school.

Sam, you know you're gonna find idiots everywhere. To each his own, you have not been corrected. Both is socially acceptable.
