Where

Hey Grimlock!

Truck looks AWESOME!

Where did you wind up getting your rims done? How much?

How did you get the center caps done?

I've got two more I want to get done, and your connection might be closer, cheaper..?

What kind of comments do you get?

I saw that picture on here a while back. I am pretty sure he admitted to doing it in Photoshop. Not 100% sure but pretty sure. Looks great though. Would love to have that set of rims on my truck.

the guy with the red truck, with the powder coated gun metal rims, posted pics at NLOC. he was a firefighter and had "fire" in his user name. you can still do a search over there, or can ask someone

rims are photoshopped on that pic but i the real thing looks similar. i saw the guy that had the real thing. he told me that he doesnt post on the internet but a friend posted the rims. they look really good in real life.

I found a place in Houston to do my 4 rims for $100 bucks. Gonna go either black or very dark gray.

But what about the center caps i dont know if they can be coated?

Thats a great deal, I think the center caps have to be painted.

I bought them off a fellow club member named Bubba_01 on the HALO forum. I love them compared to my old ones on my site. Everyone seems to stare at the truck now. Maybe they did before and I just didnt notice, but now I really do!

Are these prices you guys are talking about including painting the center caps? If it's that cheap to do I might get it done myself eventually.
Thanks!
