What welds are those? I think I kind of like those better but I am not sure. Maybe if the head lights and tail lights weren't smoked.

Trucks done, runs, took it for first drive yesterday, overall turned out nice for what im able to do with what i got.
wiring came out sloppier than i would of liked but it does the job.
grille needs repainted it doesnt match, roll pan needs body work finished, other than that its all there. Might make and throw a stereo in it over the winter not sure but besides that im done.
and the steering wheel is back to a black cover now, everybodys head seemed to explode when they saw the red..lmao

ventura silver, my fav wheel look is all black vehicle with chrome or polished setup, only reason i went with 2 tone black on wheels that came with it were because i already owned em and thought id try something different.

It makes me so mad that Weld decides every wheel has to be gloss black. Like come on man. I want their 6 spoke Ventura in all polish but they don't offer it. I didn't even know they offered the 5 spoke in silver.

Is it silver or could you potentially get a mirror finish on it? You're a good man with that wheel choice.

.

just because it’s not offered on their website does not mean it can’t be done. I would call them

Thats been thought about, kinda how i ended up with the new wheels. I found a set of other welds on marketplace, almost bought them on plans to strip the black and have them polished then i found the ones i got.

These are polished with a thick clear coat on them.
the decladed wheels u have look good after they are smoothed out and polished, im sure youve seen the pics of someone doing that with them that were floating around..

The only thing I don't like about the declads is the center cap issues. Drives me nuts. Probably going to have to silicone them in.
