I took the rims to a local company to have them blasted and powder coated. They did an excellent job.

The previous owner had some drive tires that he just gave to me. I was amazed at how good they were, that saved a bunch of money. I had to buy a couple of new tires for the front. When i went to get them mounted, I had to buy a few of the flaps ( I think that's what they called them ) and a few new inner tubes. They ended up looking really good.


I don't think they'd fit on my pickup very well. smile
