    New look, old wheels

    SO I was wondering out load again with my friend this evening after getting a couple things done on my truck (cat installed and a little extension of the exhaust) and my friend handed me these
    [img width=800 height=600]http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x275/fifty5panhead/DSCN4184.jpg[/img]
    I should have known he was up to something when he showed up with them in his hand knowing full well I only drink if it's these or St.Paulie Girl.

    So I was over his place yesterday thinking out loud about how I was not really liking the rims on my truck and wondering what they would look like if I painted them black to give them a little depth. Well needless to say he remembered it came over this evening handed the beer to me and said
    " I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU TO PAINT THEM RIMS AND I WILL EVEN TAKE YOU TO GET THE PAINT" well after 3 of them beers and a DDD there was nothing else to do but do it.

    So here's what I did and how they turned out like to hear what you all got to say about them, I am kind of not really sure I am thinking maybe just completely blacking them out will look better any input gladly excepted.

    looks awesome.
    Something I would have done was kept those bolts silver too.
    that would have added a nice pop.

    Alright Harley, I've seen enough pictures of that thing on the street. Get some pictures of it destroying nature in a tread lightly kind of way..
