Default I practically stole these.

Found some new rims for the truck finally! Some guy actually brought them back to return them at my job (LKQ) as he just wanted the tires off them. So for $33.90 for all four of them....I have NO reason to complain! Hope to get them mounted tomorrow or monday. Mounted pics to come when I do!

Good deal! Do you get employee discount? The LKQ around here charges $20 each for an aluminum wheel, and $7.50 for a steel wheel. I got my set of steelies for $30. And then did some work to them

Yeah we do get one for the most part. Depending on what we want lol. I actually didn't know they were aluminum until I picked them up and then I was like score these are mine! haha. I'll sell you my rhino lined steelies for $10 a piece..... :P

The only thing I can't decide is if I should leave them polished aluminum or paint these black too.....they're in really good condition to just paint over....but at the same time my truck is mostly blacked out except the toolbox, headache rack and mirrors.

Any thoughts yall??

You can always do them in black plasti-dip, then if you decide you don't like the black you just peel it off with no damage to the rims.
