Well I found a guy who would sandblast my wheels for $50 so I think I'm gonna do it. I can't decide whether to repaint them the same color or go with something else. Here's a picture:

Also, I figured out how to post pics as attachments, maybe you guys can help me figure out how to embed them like the big boys

Yeah I'm not a fan of black, I was thinking of going with a brushed chrome finish or a solid chrome finish

Brushed chrome or polished would look good to me.

i say sell those. Then buy some from a 1995 or up. I think they look best, but if you are set on those, chrome would look good.

You know I thought about that but I don't find too many people that are getting rid of theirs, I do like those wheels better though but I don't really want to take off the tires I have

I like the black, but usually only when the truck itself is black too

im in the process of doing my rims. (search painting rims in the forum) and i got some pics. let me shed some light. if you got an air compressor go get a cheap hvlp (high volume low pressure) spray gun used for painting cars and such. go get some good primer. shoot it, get your color if your doing it. shoot it then sand and clear. if your going for brushed aluminum look. and if those are aluminum rims, go get lots of 400 grit paper and 1000 grit and start sanding. i put a brushed aluminum style lip on my aluminum rims and they are going black. i picked them up for a hundred and spent 55 or so on material. now labor? hahaha. i made some oops so so far im in at 6 hours... still not done.
