Looks great. What did you use to paint them with?

I like it. But a suggestion, how about some of those smooth, round oldschool centercaps? I think they'd look perfect on there. Nice job on the paint!

Very nice. It's really the way to go. I think with all chemicals an materials involved I only spent $20.

They look great. Here's some pics of my process.

I really planned to take the wheels off the truck to paint them but i didnt. I got a little overspray on the side of the tire but its no biggie. As for the center caps well i got them at the junkyard and these were the only matching set in the chrome look. I ordered newer model emblems for the sides so hopefully theyll come in soon.
