Steelies and dog dishes installed today...

Got my steel wheels and oem dog dish hubcaps put on today. Tires are 32x11.5 and I think they look pretty good. Highlander buckets are at the upholsterer now, and the truck heads for body and paint in a couple of weeks. Hoping to have it all done by end of summer. Just glad to have some progress...

very nice. How wide are the steelies and where did you get them?

Have you tried buffing out the paint. You might be surprised how much shine you can get out of the old paint.

15x8 fronts and 15x10 rear. Local craigslist special for 100 for the set. I just had them powdercoated.

The paint would buff, but the truck needs rockers so it is not worth the effort. I am just going straight to paint and body...
