More shots of the newly painted 15” steelies!

I have always loved the look of the factory 15” steel wheels and hub caps on These rigs , so I couldn’t wait to get that process started. I prepped the wheels, primed them , painted them black and cleared them. Then had the 31x10.50s I had already mounted on to them and installed! Totally...
