    I plan on going FI sometime in the future but not this soon. Did you paint your centercaps or did you just leave them off?

    If you can't eat it or hump it.
    Piss on it and walk away.

    The center caps were chrome and I just scuffed them up and rattled canned them. I probably should go back over them though lol

    Get a hot water pressure washer(some car washes have) and clean the crap out of your stock wheels. Go to Tractor Supply, if they have those in Geawgia, and get you some flat or glossy black tractor implement paint...The paint works really well and is made to last out in the sun. Save your money on wheels, that's what I would do.

    I was already considering this because the clear is already peeling off of them in some places. Wonder how much it would be to powdercoat them? I would really like to see it photochoped if someone is capeable... if you need a better pic let me know.
