So I painted my stock wheels

Money is tight right now, so I thought of painting my stock ugly wheels, while I get some money to get some aftermarket ones. Don't know if it's considered a mod haha, but it's the first thing I've done to the truck since I bought it, besides adding the running boards

they kind of look like if they have brake dust, thing is that I was gonna go with black, I had a spray can of satin black and gunmetal, started painting them black but after the first wheel, the spray can nozzle broke so I had to paint them gunmetal

I would have left them alone and just kept 'em polished up and clean, until I had the money for aftermarket. I'm not a fan of them, but if you like the way they turned out.

That will hold you off until you can get another set of wheels. My step dad has those same wheels on his truck, and I can't bare to look at it.

nope, it's not an obama sticker, it's a Underoath sticker, a christian rock band

yeah, that's the main reason i did it, I can't stand them

money was not the reason, it was laziness
