Just an update on my latest. I have been doing too much lurking and not enough posting.
Plus I just a bad ass digital camera for my b-day!
So...
I purchased these rims from BigSur who is mostly on ih8mud.com. Mike(shifless) was the middle man, thanks again mike!
Anyway, they are american racing rims 15X8 that I got for 20 bucks each.
I went to town sanding them with air tools and sand paper. The process took forever.
I knew that to get everything to adhere as best as possible, all the chrome had to be scratched up pretty good.
After the sanding they each got two caots of POR15. Bad ass stuff.
After the POR15 dried I lightly scuffed them and painted them with some general purpose flat black spray paint and mounted my 33" BFG MTs.
The results are AMAZING. I love it.
I get no fender rubbing with the aid of my 4Crawler 3" body lift.
These pics really don't do it justice.
Wanted to see if they rubbed under flex but I didn't really have time to get any more flex than this.
I have some pretty bad rubbing at full lock on the pitman arm. Other than that they fit perfectly. The look is really mean too.
