Nice selective use of bling. I'm a fan of tasteful bling too. You should see the bling action on the H2 forum.:)

Very nice job. I like it!

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
 

For those of you who spray painted your rims black, is it noticable that it is not powder coated or professionaly done? Also how long ago did you do it, is there any signs of wear?

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
 

48 hours and no wear yet:D Good thing is, if I scratch them on a rock I just get out the spray can:rolleyes:

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
 

everyone that has seen my wheels think they are powder coated , until they get close enough to notice that my wheel weights are black too . they have been on the truck for about three months now and holding up great . i have some nicks and scratches but that is because i wheel it pretty hard ( scraped on rocks ). when powder coating gets chipped you have a pretty deep nick to fill . with the spray paint just a little scuffing at the damaged spot and a little spray and they look great again .

hmrlvr: any update on the wheels? I still want to paint mine similar to yours <or all black> but have been told it may be a bad idea -- does it still look sharp? or is there any scratches or bubbles or anything?

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
 

Not a scratch yet. I haven't really been offroad with them yet though. Pismo in 2 weeks:D . I used the bedliner spray that some other guys were using on other parts. Holding up suprisingly well. I haven't tried it through a commercial car wash yet. I like to wash it myself but the car wash wheel scrubbers may damage them???
