New rims

[Painsponge]

Hello friends, I figured out what I'll do with some stimulus cash. I found these rally wheels on line. I'll be the only guy on the block with a Chevy 4Runner!

That is a display picture for a Vehicle for Sale, the stickers in the rear passenger side window gives it away. Did you buy the rims or the whole rig?? Either way it looks like a nice set-up

Actually Pman, it is my car sitting in the show room at the dealership. The attached photo is of the same car on the lot of the dealership. Those stock aluminum wheels are also pretty nice and will accommodate some beefy snow tires when the time comes. This way I can preserve the luster on the new wheels.

Beautiful Rims. Now the work starts.... keeping them shiny. Meguiars is my pal with this stuff. But you probably know that.

Looks like the latest version of Microsoft Paint.   

[KaptCrunch]

no just lots of elbow grease and paints, sandpaper, wire brush and  silver paint for the bad spots to hide them, final coat after silver then  clear to seal  metal  very time consuming 2 days ordeal for drying time of washing and painting.

Got to love Rally Wheels !!  Any Chevy muscle car looks great with them.

Hey Mike B, I feel ya bro! I have always had a crush on the '70s era Chevrolet rally wheels. I found these look-a-likes on a website called JEGS. Of course these are made in China unlike the originals they are styled after, but they are aluminum like the stock 4Runner wheels and they have sex appeal! I have attached a pic of a vintage Camaro with rally wheels and then my car with my new wheels. Peace brother.

Mother's mag wheel polish is your new friend Pain. Never ending love affair once you start polishing.

We have a few Jegs stores here in Ohio.  Great place to buy HP car parts.    Baby Moons where popular too in the 70's.  Was either Moons, Rally's, or Crager's.
