Started last week taking the chrome covers off my stock wheels to paint them black. Talking about a big PITA. Luckily my brother's truck is missing a tranny so I borrowed his 33's for the week. In the first pic I had just taken the covers off. Look at all that glue. Used aircraft paint remover, rubber mallet, and a scraper. After that I rinsed and used a wire stripper brush on a drill to finish the job. Coat of primer and 2 coats of paint later you get the end results below. Good timing too b/c I've gotta go pick up his tranny 2 1/2 hours away in the morning.

looks awesome. I like that. it's clean and cheap. good job

x2 wihout the caps.

 

Wonder how they would look DSG ?

 

looks good, i like it alot. black rims excite me.lol

 

ooooooo man, that looks nice, good job!

 

i dig the wheels!, just paint the center caps black with some plastic paint

 

keep the caps chrome or else they will peel looks great like you have it!

 

Here is how you do up the center caps

 

Paint the center caps, but leave the ford oval in the center chrome.

 

nice work, great mod.

 

never been a fan of those style rims, but i have to say those look great

 

wheels look good. i had a set of those coopers b4 my bfgs they were a nice a/t tire

 

Thanks for all the comments and input. I'm gonna run the center caps for a while and may paint em like mentioned above. I plan on buying a new set of wheels next year and then have these powder coated just for a back up set. Coopers are a great tire for the money. Think I paid around $112 a tire.

 

Looks AWESOME but I would scrap the center caps. Too much bling, imo.

 

your truck looks good keep the caps chrome it just looks like a dark hole other wise

 

not if you sand them and use a paint made for plastics

 

Nice work man. I did the same thing to those same wheels last year! I love em!

 

looks good, but i like it without the centercaps too

 

Keep them centercaps on there

 

without the center caps!

without a doubt.

 

Looks awesome the way it is. I like the chrome center caps myself.

 

Looks pretty good. How do you like those Coopers?
