Just mothers wheel polish and a power ball.

Try this and if you buy it and do not like it I will buy it from you, I am about to need another bottle anyhow. Once you use this you will not look for another polish.http://www.californiacustom.com/purp...al_polish.html

Been a while, I have decided to paint the centers and leave the hoops polished. I painted one so far, the color is bronze.... I like it but looks a lil strange. I will get some pictures up in a few days.

Nice score. I also like the factory set up you have now.

Yes it was, not sure how straight it is now. We'll see when I get some tires mounted.

I've never been a fan of those particular wheels for some reason, but the bronze center makes em look KILLER!!! Nice job on picking the color. Looking forward to seeing them on your truck.

Right now its red primer, however if you look at the baby blue truck that is the color I'm painting it. Its goin to be a fauxtina paint job. The body is nowhere near stright enuff for a good paint job. I also plan on painting a door logo on it too.
