1st 3 are done, ready to go on the truck in maybe another hour
4th one just had the 3rd coat, put that one one later
Much better then the peeling corroded mess I had....just over $6 plus my time
I'll see how they last thru the Winter, then decide on the rims
Might opt to try painting the rims VS Dip
Just found a 2' section of 3" PVC, thought I had a pc kicking around
So with work slow guess I'll be doing the Gotts mod

1st 3 on the Truck, definitely will need to black out the entire Rim
Looks too much like a clowns nose
But rims & wheels look 10x better then what they did
Looks much better w/wheel well blacked out....never really thought of the red that was there until I replaced the tires
I'm going to look into new rims over the winter & see what I find
Best option would be 4 new rims & 4 new tires -285/70R17
I could keep these as Winter tires
