Re: Finally painted
Very nice job to be the first! As above lets see some outside shots of it.
What colors are those. I love the wheels they look a lot like mine.

20"-8" x 20" - 10" out back with a 1/4" in the back and no spacer up front. They did shave the hub off just enough so the cap would fit. I watched them as it was done. As stated man great job. Mine is RED and GM gunmetal grey!

Re: Finally painted
Thanks man!
I was worried about the wheels not looking right with the truck but after getting them on it made the whole truck POP! Hope you get some outside shots of yours. That is a awsume paint job on it. I wished I could say I painted mine but oh well. I did everything else though! Great job again. Love the colors on it. I had thought about silver on mine but just couldn't get over the red.
