Those wheels are going to look killer!

BTW... you will LOVE those tires.

Thanks, I hope they turn out. Finished another one tonight- got my technique down now and it's going a little faster. Maybe get some more time to finish them next week- trying to beat the winter cold before I'm unable to paint...

COLD WINTER,,,, Unless you moved a little closer to the North Pole, I doubt it gets cold enough not to let the paint dry..

VA72C10 · 11-06-2011, 11:42 PM

Nice!!!

mcbassin · 11-07-2011, 12:38 AM

Your wheels look great. It definetly looks like you had some labor in it. Turned out awesome.

Bennett68C10 · 11-07-2011, 08:30 AM

Looks awesome, can't wait to see pics of them finished and on your truck

Haha- tis true, it doesn't really get cold here, but the paint doesn't like to stick when cold and flows better warm. Worst case, I break out the propane heater...

Trying to decide if I want to order mine this week or wait to see what they look like on your truck.

gringoloco · 11-07-2011, 10:52 AM

Check out showwheels website, there are a few pics of our trucks with the polished version- if you're impatient, like me. They are the exact same size/backspacing as the coys on my old blazer, just shorter tires, so that should give a good idea of fitment. If not, mine should be on in the next couple of weeks...

Thanks for the feedback on the speaker brackets! I am super pleased you are happy with them and the install...which looks GREAT...went well.

I will be picking up my second order tomorrow...so I have 25 more brackets for sale.

gringoloco · 11-15-2011, 12:34 AM

'Twas a nice, 80*, mid-November day, so I decided to lay some paint. Decided to re-coat all four wheels so that the color and sheen is consistent among them. After a TON of masking tape and a little work- I'm calling this project complete

Just hafta wait for them to fully cure- then mount 'em up!

FYI: The second pic is most accurately representative of the actual color...

Not bad for a tall, skinny, newly-wed.

mcbassin · 11-15-2011, 12:56 AM

Those look great! I think you are on to something for sure. I'm ready to see these mounted up on your truck.

71Sleeper · 11-15-2011, 01:08 AM

The hard work paid off. They turned out great!

VA72C10 · 11-15-2011, 03:59 AM

Maybe so- I hear there may be at least one more set here on the boards done in a similar fashion fairly soon. Ready to see 'em mounted myself- this cure time wait is KILLING me- I just don't trust the mounting machine (or rather, the operator) not to gouge the soft paint...
