Bad Idea

[07rangersport]

So I had this 'good' idea yesterday that I would paint my centercaps black. I thought it might look good. Well I was wrong.

Anybody have any suggestions?? I've thought about painting the whole wheel, buying new centercaps, or trying to repaint them. What do you guys think??

buy new caps. I don't ever even consider painting anything on my wheels, it won't stay put unless you powder coat it or something similar. How did you do it, with rattlecans?

Ya. I roughed the surface with 280 grit sand paper, then primed it, then painted with high temp paint. Looks like sh!t. O well too late now

Screw it, go get some new better looking wheels if you don't like those. Your pickup looks pretty new, I wouldn't dick with it. If you are looking for black wheels, which apparently you are, you can find those pretty cheap. Chrome and polished aluminum wheels are the expensive ones...

Hell just re-sand 'and paint them back to the origional color.

I was thinking that too. Summitt had black steelies last time I looked. I wouldn't mind some 32x11.5.. hmm.....

What do you guys think of those?? Think they would look good on my truck??

Those are nice wheels (note I say wheels, not rims. Rims are for ricers!! )

I think they would look great on your pickup. That is the good thing about black rims; they look good on almost anything. Go for it bro.

Also, do you think you can fit 32 inch tires on your pickup? Last I heard 31's are the largest comfortable fit. 32's... I dunno.

I heard that once you get into the 2000's you can fit 33's.

I'm pretty sure that I can fit a 285 75 16 with a mild t-bar crank. The level2's come with 31's stock, so I know I can fit those for sure.

You got a level 2??


You're my new best friend.

 

[07rangersport]

No unfortunately it is not a level 2. I couldn't afford the extra dough. I have a fully loaded sport, and I love it. But wish I had a level 2. If I had known that 2007 was the last year for the level 2, I would have got one for sure.

Awww Shucks...
