My New Wheels
.....well sorta.

as some of you know my L wheels (which are the 18" chrome replicas) were in pretty rough shape...the chrome was literally peeling off of them.

Well thanks to neil (EOC) i finally got some tires that are road worthy put on them, and i decided to give them a little makeover.

Started with this


Started going to town with one of these and a razor blade


Gettin there


Thats sharp!


Inside done


Sanded the crap out of the face


NICE!






all said and done...i have about 3 hours in each wheel...not including painting

idk if i want to paint my other set of centercaps black or not tho...im kinda digging the cop wheels look lol

oh also i have SVT coils in these pics w/ half a coil cut...dont really think it dropped me any more than my other springs tho...that will soon change

Huge thanks goes out to my buddy neil, without his help my truck wouldnt look this good right now!
