Default sneek peak of my 3rd set of wheels in the last month

first the 05 silverado 17's

2nd 18" boyd coddington smoothie II

3rd 18" eagle alloy 219's

they look HORIBLE!!! they need some extreme TLC with some polish but they will shine up to new without any problems. the 2 on this side got a half *** cleaning. the front one is only half way done until i gave up i like them alot. sorry the pictures suck but ill post some more when i get them polished up, my mirrors back on, my fogs in, alot of my truck repainted and the tint darker....sometime around next monday or tuesday hopefully. anyways here it is.

looks good despite the pics! I've been looking into those wheels myself. I kind of want to stick to 18's vs. 20's for now.

So did you sell your Smoothie II's?

yep. BBLS1 is the proud new owner of those wheels. i think they will look awesome on his truck because its pewter and pewter is just shinyer than the graphite trucks. those wheels were just too blingy for my truck and didnt fit the simple look ive always gone for. these will look awesome once i get them shined up. they look like someon poured a gallon of milk on each wheel and didnt wash it off

Brand new or from someone else? Thos will look good on your truck (once the sun comes back up). I would love to find a product that I could get a high shine on the wheels vs the mothers which jsut restores to the current finish.

their used. they will look great once their cleaned up and in the sun. mothers is suposed to bring out the shine but the metal in these wheels isnt as great of quality like intro or any of those other high dollar wheels. thats why they dont seem to shine up as great as some of the other wheels you see around
