JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Looks great. Love the red lug nuts. What kind of paint you use? I've used rustoleum black metallic and semi Gloss and both came out amazing. I think if you painted the center cap red too that would look really good

Cant beat black rims... Do it yourself black rims are even better. Not a fan of the red lugs, a little ricey for my taste but good job with the rims.

Looks great. The lugs really set it off! Debating on powder coating mine or getting new wheels.

What did you use on top of the paint? I used high heat paint and put four coats on and it's almost all off. Notice the front

I just used dupi color bed liner. I put down two coats of self etching primer after sanding it all down and three of the bed liner. I was trying to just make the jeep in the center red but it didn't work so i just did the lug nuts. And since dupi color doesn't make a paint that is red rock I used gm dark cherry red.

I also like your wheels, not sure about you red nuts though.
