Check out my new shoes, 20 X 9 MB Motoring Express with the factory tires flipped inside out to hide the white letter Pirelli's, Notice the nice painted brakes and rotors to hide the ugly rust. Sorry for the truck being dirty it rained last night.

 

Love the wheels

Are you thinking about getting bigger tires too?

 

Not yet the ones I have only have 10,000 miles on them, maybe when they wear out.

 

They look nice. Keep a close eye on the chrome. Mine started peeling within a few months. I originally had M.B. Bruzers. If you look closely at the surface on mine, you could see that they were not prepped very good before the chrome process. There was several areas where it looked discolored and sanding marks under the finish. Good luck.

 

They look pretty good, John. Nice mod.

Business must be good!

 

Business is good Daddy, no more lonely Mr. Franklin's. Actually My CD came due this month so the interest paid for the wheels.

 

Wonder how long that paint will last on the rotors. My only complain about those open wheels is that they show off the rotors/calipers...or lack thereof.

I prefer something that will cover up the brakes a little more, but they look okay.

 

well my last three trucks the paint lasted as long as I owned it. I would however respray them about once a year to brighten them up form the excessive brake dust that gets on them.

Thanks, I can't wait until then, I got my trailer out last weekend and have been getting ready for Spring Break next Friday, we are heading to Nashville to camp.

 

Looks good, I'll check em out when we go to the Horse Park.

 

Is it just me or do 20 inch rims seem like they are smaller than when they first came out?

 

I'll echo that, but I still like my 18s. If I was given stock 20s, then I'd love to have them. I went +3 on my last truck (and still current, I suppose), but that is only to 17" polished Boyd C. billets. +18" looks dumb on the old S-10 anyhow...

 

Looks good. Was thinking of painting my calipers red.

 

Nice wheels...they look good on your 6.5 bed screw...

 

what kind of paint? I painted my calipers but its the kind you have to brush on and it's chipping

 

I have had success with 3 different kinds.

1. Was a single stage auto paint I got from the bodyshop I worked at, Honda red with the hardner already mixed in, I brushed it on with a sponge brush.

2. Was a brake caliper paint I bought from Advance Auto just for brakes, it was in the ricer section of the store.

3. is the same I am using now, basic a** Rustolumin from Lowes, its the high temperture/ industrial brand ,works fine, as I said I respray about one a year or when I rotate my tires, it may flake off a bit but I belive its from the rust coming thru the rotors inside out.
