truck in winter-mode

Well since i never got around to throwing clear coat on my wheels, i took them off for the winter so they don't get pitted. They will be clearcoated over winter time and be on again in the spring.
its such a smooth ride on the all terrains but it feels so weird and my truk duz NOT lewk gud!

I think your truck looks fine like that. Just need some center caps and your set

Not a bad look for it, but it definitely needs the centercaps on it.

I've run my Baja wheels through the past 2 winters and they still look like new. You Just have to make sure you polish them once a month and put some wax on them.

weird lol. I don't have a garage to polish them in in the winter so its not worth my time in the spring to spend hours cleaning them up lol im either going to get the clearcoated or powdercoated flat black to look like the "signature" series classic IIs but i dunno yet
