Cheap Tire & Wheel Upgrade for my 83

[BlueOvalLover]

Bought my little Gen 1 about a year ago. Money is tight, but I had to do something about the tires and wheels. I bought some grey steel wheels off a 94 Ranger, painted them white and put some 235/60/14 tires on them. I'm real happy with the look and the price. About $250 for the whole thing. Check it out.

That actually looks good. Goes with the beige paint. Nice!

Yeah, that 26 year old paint is not exactly white anymore. But it's on my list of things to do. Maybe the truck will match the wheels some day.

They're painted. Justed sanded them down, then primer and rattle can. Rustoleum Professional. This paint's really not hard enough for automotive use, but for $5 a can I can afford to touch them up when I scratch them. I would love to powder coat them, but I'm saving my pennies for the exhaust system now.

Thanks for all the positive posts.

but yeah love the way yours looks

I like them. Might I recommend either painting the logo on the center cap, or changing the color of the center cap to accent it a bit...
