Plastidip dat whip!

 

Hell yeah

 

Powderrrr. Polished or machined is hard to keep looking nice.

 

How about matte black and some pretty little yellow nuts?

 

I just got fuckin bronze

 

Hell yeah, little yellow nuts are where it’s at
Got mine from cburg

 

Could be worse

could be spider man

 

Air dog
Do you recognize these wheels from anywhere else?

cause
I’m sure you’ve seen them on another truck also

and
These are 100% 10ft rule
“They look great!……at 10ft”

 

Yellow nuts are the only way to go… sorry for those that don’t know

 

5/8 ftmfw!

 

But but….mine are 5/8 too!!! No respect around here. Off to the 4th gen section for me.

I must have these yellow nuts!!

Side note on polished. Mine used to be polished but since I daily mine it’s exposed to rain. My beadlocks don’t have drain holes so they’d hold water that I was too lazy to dry off every time. After a couple years the water that sat there had eaten through the clearcoat and completely destroyed the finish. I figured hitting them with plasidip, which is a rubber coating, would better protect them. Plus if I ever got sick of the color I can just peel off and redo them.

Here’s what they looked like. The part just behind the ring is pitted and looks like dirt but it doesn’t come off.


And how much water they hold.


If you care how your stuff looks (I might be in the minority here) keep this in mind if going with 80’s style polished wheels.

 

You could upgrade to rings that drain
I plan to
Them bishes are just expensive

 

I think the way my wheels are designed those won’t make much of a difference. Plus I gotta save pennies for the yellow nuts so I can be cool too.

 

Check to see if those wheels can be drilled for yellow nuts tho

Mine are drilled studs and bore so it may be worth inquiring with the manufacturer

there was a limited selection of wheels you could drill when I spoke to raceline for mine
Basically limited to the monsters and avengers

 

Picked up the glass today. Im running out of excuses to not start working on this thing.

McNeil 4” all around.
