New wheels! 15x8 Cragar Nomad IIs with 3.75 backspacing. You can also see some of the polishing I did on the passengers side (just compare to drivers!) You can see where I haven't finished the back of the bed (lots of swirls from the compound, need to go through with a finer polish to remove them). While it's not perfect (even the "finished" part still has swirls), it looks 10x better than before. I don't want to put too much effort into it because, a) I am doing it by hand, and b) I am planning on repainting the truck come spring time. You can also see the freshly painted tool box, complete with smeared rubbing compound. =(
