Gtfo with all that!

Just kidding. i like those. just not my style.

im into a simple, wide open look. im a fan of open space.

Does anyone know of a good paint for these? Im going black.wheels/red rings. Just not sure what "effect" of paint to use. Matte, gloss, anodized. Im thinking a good cleaning, clear primer or adhesion promoter and then anodized rings on a black wheel would look sweet.

 

[CherryK5]

Any suggestions are welcome.

 

[73redblaze]

i just used primer then rustolem flat red, still look awesome

whatever you paint it with is gonna get scratched off.

I vote for rattlecan. Easy touch ups, just as durable as whatever else when it comes down to being rubbed on rocks.

Hell i even scratch the crap out of my wheels almost every trip.

 

[CherryK5]

You can touch up the anodized stuff can't you?

Hey, I want to ask here since on beadlock talk.

Has anyone welded nuts to the backside of the flange that gets welded to the wheel

 

[NorCal_Chris]

You can touch up the anodized stuff can't you?

i thought your wheel were steel?

Anodizing is for aluminum

 

[CherryK5]

The vht stuff is for chrome and bare steel.

And I planned on doing captured nuts on my inner rings.
I use captured hardware as much as.possible.

 

[CherryK5]

Hey Kert. We're expecting a picture after the first one is cut naturally.
Just a heads up. Because...

 

[CherryK5]

FINALLY HEREEEE!!!1

They are way beefier than i thought they would be.
And other than the plasma cutter start spot being a little close to the cut they look great!

 

[CherryK5]

Here's one of the plasma cut spot

So apparently the Pro Comp 82 series are on backorder until the end of august. Guess i'm rolling around on dinky little tires for a while. i think they measured all of 30 inches... Would have been nice to know they were on backorder somewhere on the site.
