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.

Default Here are mine





They came out great (don't mind the fingerprint smudges on the unmounted pic). Everybody loves 'em.

I would love to have the wheels powdercoated properly, but I think I'd rather put my funds towards some awesome tires and some goodies.

I am, without a doubt though, painting the OEM rims satin black. I've just picked up a can of Plasti-Kote super lacquer... much stronger than enamel. It's 'hot rod' black... ya know, like old rat rods and such.

Need a guinea pig so I painted my B&D weed whacker's shaft with it, lol... and I love how it turned out. Gonna take the plunge and paint all the wheels as soon as I can. Will certainly post up some pics when I do.

All these JK's look kick ass with black wheels!

I would get on it right away but I need to figure out some way of keeping the Jeep up on stands while I do this. Don't have another set to drive on while I get the job done.

I would leave it at work, but it woud have to sit outside and the chance of someone damaging it on stands in a parking lot is too great.

Will be doing all the badging with the same paint so I'll throw up some pics of that as well!
