New Wheels!
Well kinda, I'm a broke college student and decided to imitate the expensive new wheels out there.
Here's how she sat before... And before the level, dang this is an old pic lol
Wheels off the truck, no centers
Little bit of masking... little over an hour invested in marking it with a pencil and then masking per wheel, ouch!
Then I sprayed the spoke part with a metallic silver (this is the quickly done spare in this pic)
All this culminated in....
I'm really thrilled with it, and entire project from when I first bought the wheels till now has cost me 36 dollars. 30 for the rims out of the junkyard and 6 in spray paint. Probably the best thing I've done to this truck for such little money! Just wanted to share. Whatcha guys think?

Thanks! I was kind of apprehensive to start with because they look like a newer style you don't see on these trucks often at all. I'm glad I did it now!

I don't have another day off work until next tuesday, so I'll be rolling around on mismatches for a week

when I bought my 88 the front and back rims were different and the two back rims were different, even now my front and back rims are different but they look almost the same, and right now my front rims are the same and my back rims are the same, front and back rims are both 8 spoke like yours but the fronts are chevy rims the backs are the same as in the picks but grey.

I'm still new to matching tires, but I've always had matching rims! For the first year I had my truck it had 4 different tires on it, all junkyard. Man those were some crappy tires, but hey, they worked!
