Also btw - Did you paint your spare rim? The wheel looks perfect.

That's a factory spare punched out to 16" by Stockton Wheel. Just painted white. Looks right.

Interesting. I didn't know they can go from 15in to 16in. Why did you punch them out?

My white rims look terrible as the paint has gone bad. They need to be sand blasted and maybe power coated. I'm not sure what is best.

More tire options. I recommend blast and rattle can. Easy touch ups.
