Re: painted wheels " holding up "
So except for the abuse to the wheels, the paint seems to be holding up well. Thanks

Re: painted wheels " holding up "
Are you planning to touch them up...or just leave 'em as your "true wheeler evidence"?

Re: painted wheels " holding up "
So much for the bling free wheels
Actully looks good with some wear. Honestly, what good is it to beef up a truck and then take it to the mall. Them lockers aren't for speed bumps!
Besides no one can talk crap since you have the 35's. |

Bling is like cancer an Hummers, you think its gone,but it seems to just resurface.
I wish they would just offer the wheels black from the factory.

Damn, have a little trouble getting that wheel balanced
Did all those weights lower your MPG
Looks great, may have to do that with the extra set I have

Re: painted wheels " holding up "

Re: painted wheels " holding up "
Neo -
Thanks for the pics. Overall it looks like they're holding up great (You can't blame paint for loosing in the fight of paint vs. rock )
Yep! I can see it happening really soon!
