My 60$ wheels.....

Welp i got really tired of riding around on rallies, i hate them lol, not the look i am going for with my truck. I love the old classic look but not the route i wanted to go with on this truck. SOO after looking around craigslist i found these wheels for 60 bucks! the guy said that it was just some dirt but since the only way i could get them for 60 instead of 120 was to meet him at that moment which was a 45 min drive in a monsoon so hell yea ill save 60 bucks.




I really contemplated painting them black with a polished lip but figured thatd be no fun haha


Needless to say they needed a little loving. so i gave them a few acid washes and scrubbed and ABSOLUTELY no luck i busted my ass and here is where the truck is at right now. this is 2 different days of shots but they need some more loving but coming along





And After some good scrubbing with some green scrubb pads and blue magic here is where we are at now

Front wheel done



Both wheels worked on





So in time these will be A LOT shinier and will have some better tires. im really hoping to get some 275s maybe 295s in the back and 255s up front


Thoughts? i know she needs paint and a little stance and tint and a cowl hood and so on and so on haha but i paid 500$ for the whole truck and it hasnt left me stranded so i cant complain to much
