    New Wheel Options

    I'm looking at swapping my wheels out after a guy in town offered $360 for the one's on my truck. I have the tahoe wheels posted on here for sale but I might powder coat them black and throw em on my truck. Decisions, decisions....



    I was thinking of a black powder coat with the face being polished. i.e. black ribs and background around main 5-spoke.

    Or swapping to either of these....

    Nice either ones will work. It all depends on your taste and wallet size.

    I think the first or second would look AWESOME powdercoated black. Not a fan of the third set but thats just me.

    I'm leaning towards the first set with the powdercoated background and polished face. I saw a white Nissan with the bronze Level 8's that looked pretty good too

    Ok, so last night I had the urge to bust out the rattle can and oil to do some color sampling to see how the black background looks. I like it!

    when i decided to go down to 17's i actually copies pictures of the 17" star truck wheels and did this to them in MS paint to see if i liked them. I ended up going 8hole though. I even thought about painting the wheels on the old ladys kia. Lol ghetto but i knew how it would have looked.

    I started out in MS paint and decided screw it and busted out the WD-40 and the rustoleum to test how it would look. Paint will wipe off easily with a pressure washer and starting fluid.

    I am either going to mount some 285/60 or 275/55
