its the original one, just wet sanded it with 420 to get the gloss of the fake chrome. It was super easy. just use a bunch of GOOD clear 4 coats or more.

Well dont get these, they are 22's and heavy as hell. I think they weigh about 85-100 with the 305/45-22 tires. I am gonna get some centerlines hopefully soon. Due to how heavy they are.

Id only change 2 things, go back to stock headlights, and a painted to match bumper or roll pan, then it would be perfect
