I'm tryin...kinda. I haven't been back to the shop since Saturday.
Im going to head there early tomorrow though. I want to get it painted real soon. I was just messing around with the tires,
I cut them myself and painted the rims myself...I'm trying to save money where I can. That was my first time cutting.
I'm going to do the other 2 wheels and paint the drums. They should come out better cause I'm going to take my time with them.
I really just wanted to give my rig a different look.
I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

That's wild, nice work. Nothing wrong with saving a buck. You did a good job, I thought they were real. That's the fun with this, trying different looks. My wheels are just cheap smoothies, powder coat looks good. Good luck with the paint.

Thanks again man. Yes, I'm trying different looks. I already have a set of Cragars for when I convert it to 5 Lug.

Whats the backspacing on the Champs; or are they zero offset? I really want to run 15x10's on the rear of my step '66 but I want to make sure they'll clear if I drop it some 3".

Would you say it's a no-go?
