Flat Black

33" BFG/MT with american racing rims that I picked up for 20 each, painted with por15, and top coated with spraypaint. I did this like 3 months ago and have no chips or blemishes!
















If your gonna paint them, it's all in the prep.

Looks good. Kind of resembles the teflon coated wheels in the pictures.

Those stock aluminum rims actually look pretty good!

Here's mine, I opened a photobucket.com acct. just so I could upload a pic



The tires are BFG AT KO 33x10.50's mounted on Pro Comp Xtreme series 97 steelies. They're 15x8 with 3.75" of backspacing. I chose these because they have round cutouts which look better, at least on my vehicle IMO

Yah that happened on my drivers side - I welded up the bumper but I need to replace it still so I can put my mudflaps back on. My revers side wheel well looks like that or worse. I am going to get inserts for mine.

You can usually find a 4x4 store and pick up a set of Black Rock Crawlers. I just picked up a set for a friend.. I'll post some pics once it stops raining. (just put them on this weekend).. probably cost you about $250-300 for the set
