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.

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

there are some in the bargain finder, I believe the chevy ones have the same bolt pattern. There doesn't seem to be many good deals right now but I don't know how much new ones cost
