Re: Project: Crew'd Attitude

Well, not a whole lot to report.....but I decided to buy the wheels off of the brown parts truck I picked up. Ended up buying the wheels for $400 bux, not a steal my any means but will suffice till I can find a set of 19.5's and have them machined down. Can't really justify the cost of a set of machined 22's at this point, as much as I would love to. Time will tell on that later....

So here is the wheels, took a DA sander to them as they had some nasty gouges n such in the wheels here and there and some corrosion where the lugs meet the wheels. Used 80g first, then worked down to a 400g....then directional motion with some scotchbrite pads to get the brushed look. The truck will see daily driving and gravel roads n such....so high polished/high maintenance wheels are not my goal here.
