I need new rims but I want to maintain the classic look, any ideas? This will be the finishing touch to my truck in my opinion, help! I like black in my wheels just saying

I got these for 20$ 1979 F150 rims. Invested about 100$ to get them sandblasted, primer and painted.

Oh wow that's nice man, I might take the ones I have and have them sand blasted and repaint them

I wish I would have went with the black mickey Thompsons instead of the ones I got

I have the same wheels as Sylver on my 94 Explorer in black and on my 88 F150 in chrome.
Personally I have always thought they look best on older vehicles.

The only thing I don't like about the ones on my 94 Explorer (the black ones) is that the paint needs touched up a lot. I just always paint it with some rattle can and it stays for a few hundred miles.

This is what is on my truck now, I think I'm just going to re-gloss black them

Clean them up and paint them with a flat black primer. Then have a body shop or rim repair place shoot them with a good hard clear coat. It'll be cheap and they'll last much much longer.

Okay but I'm wanting them to be gloss black...

The clear coat would be glossy. Just like the clear coat used on the body of the truck. It might need a little wet sand and polish depending on how smooth the clear lays out when it's sprayed.
