Default Foose Wheels (Powdercoated)

Should have them on the truck this weekend, will post pics. Cleaning chrome was getting old, so I figured I would be the 1st to P/C my speedsters. What do you think? More pics to come.

The rims were in pretty good shape, so they only cost $35.00 ea. to blast. It would have been around $100.00 ea. if they had been bad enough to acid dip.

They blasted the wheels, primed them, sanded, powdercoated, and baked for 30 min.

Let me give you a heads up with powder coated wheels. I had my stockers done and when I put them back on the truck it had a shimmy. I had to lay the wheel flat on the driveway and file the area flat down to the steel where it bolts up against the brake rotors. Then the truck was smooth. Also filed down the powder coating on the wheel opening where it goes around your axle hubs
