Yeah i was looking into the Velocity 725s in 26's. How hard was painting and how do you prevent them from chipping?

These wheels aren't chrome. They are powdercoated w/ an aluminum lip. All I had to do was get the faces sanded, sealed, and painted. One of my friends did it for me. I used a urothane (sp) singe stage paint which I was told is a little thicker than normal... I doubt you can paint over chrome w/o experiencing chipping later on.

As for everyone else.... Thanks for the comments. I put quite a bit of work into this truck, and I love it!!!!! Glad everyone likes it!!!:Handshake:

Running a 305/35/24... some rubbing during "parking lot maneuvers", but nothing to worry about. I'm planning on getting some 295/35/24 or something like that when these tires wear out.:)
