I picked these rims up for $75!!!
As far as I can see they are straight. I rolled them on the dudes garage floor and they looked good, I guess I'll find out for sure when I try to mount/balance them. 1 is a little curbrashed and by no means are they perfect. They were on the guys truck(04 FX4) for 120,000. Should I put them on as is, or paint/powdercoat them black?



one clean one dirty




2 clean

 

i would just run them as is once you paint them you are just opening a can of worms but if you decide to paint them i would say powdercoating would be the best way to do it!!

 

Powder coat would be your best option. It'll take a better beating than just paint. It'll cost more but last longer.

 

I know powdercoating would be the way to go for permanent but what if I just wanted to see? Rattle can could easily be cleaned off. Anyone have pics of these rims blacked out?

 

i'd just leave em.

 

If you gonna get them painted powder coat all the way but if you want to do a test "look" rattle can one I would not do all to much work if you decide you don't like

 

I am by no means a fan of painted / powder coated stock wheels but if you go that route, do it right and powder coat them.
