    Ok dippers I have some wheel questions. When spraying the wheel on the truck can you see the back barrel of the rim? I'd hate to see the silver after spraying the face black. The other question has to do with lug nuts. I'm guessing they won't hold up to a lug wrench so what do you guys do?

    You probably are gonna have to buy black lugs. It definitely won't hold up if you dip them. I'd check eBay or Amazon.

    Edit: Quoted the wrong thing but you get the idea. Haha

    Yes, stock wheels

    I've heard they are hard to find and expensive for Aluminum wheels. Plus the expense defeats the low budget derp mod. I'll probably powder coat the original nuts so I could always strip them if I want to go back to stock. Thanks for the answers!

    I sprayed mine with some Rustoleum black engine enamel (only black paint I had laying around) after I dipped mine. It's held up better than I expected, considering I didnt prep them at all
