kowboy Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Some of you may have seen my original post when these wheels were new(and chrome), http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16049 . I wasn't sure if I was going to powdercoat them or not, but I said what the hell, and here they are. I'm sure I'll get mixed reviews, because some really like chrome! To tell you the truth, I'm torn between the two myself, BUT where I live, I see trucks w/ chrome 24's everyday, and I wanted to stand out. I left the (6")lip and (obviously) the center cap chrome. Tell me what you think! http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81/kowbo...kowboysss04.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81/kowbo...kowboysss05.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81/kowboysss/sssbl21.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a81/kowboysss/sssbl2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd seen them on Discovery channel's great biker build-off, or whatever it's called. They powdercoated the frame on the winning bike. They charged me $175 per rim, which I thought was hella steep, but I had no definitive line where my rim ended and the lip began, so they had to tape off a lot of radiuses at the end of each spoke. The labor for that is what cost me so much. I figured since I got the rims for such a good deal, why not go for it, ya know?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
