Looks pretty good Barry. Wonder how they'll hold up to rock chips and what not.
Of course the shiny paint on the wheels kind of clashes with the dirt on the rest of the truck, but with more rain coming tonight and tomorrow, I suppose you'll have that corrected soon.

Thanks Chris...I figurred there was no use in washing the truck.Like you said,more rain and my driveway is a mess anyway.
I used High heat BBQ paint and then the top coat is the black semi-gloss.

Yes.I used some 100 grit sand paper.I painted them inside and out.It may not stay on but I figurred it was alot cheaper than a set of wheels.They have been removed so many times for tires/rotations that they had lost their shine really.Mike brought it up in a thread and I decided to try it.I am happy with them.

Thanks Pete...I know many like chrome/alum and that is great.Mine needed a change and I think it goes with all the black stuff I have.Should have done it sooner now that I see it.

I was just talking about that very thing tonight with a friend. Some truck colors/schemes look better with chrome, some look better without it, and others look good either way. Your truck already has the black accents and looks really good with the black wheels.
