Well not new rims but new to me. I cheeped out and Plasti-dip them since I didn't want to take half my RnR cleaning and sanding them. Will polish them up come winter















And some PS fun. It's late and I did it on a laptop touch pad... so take that for what it's worth lol

I will eventually but to wet sand them and buff and everything involved it's going to take forever. I spent 4-5 hrs on one of them and got it to about 60% and wanted to do something else while the sun was shinning. I know they will look amazing polished up it's just finding the motivation to do that on my time off when the weather has been amazing.

Been spending more time learning HP Tuners and data logging than anything else recently LOL

The wheels really do look good 'dipped on your truck.-BADASS!!!!

And how did you do that last pic? That is awesome, i'd love to have a pic of mine like that.

Your work is paying off. What does the license plate stand for?

Thanks!

The last picture is just some simple work in Photoshop. I took two pictures with the camera on a tripod, one with the hood open and another with the hood closed and then layered them on top of each other. Then I just masked off the hood and adjusted the transparency so that it gives that "see through" look to it. If you can get me two pictures that are identical except one has the hood opened I can do one for you.

Oh and the licence plate stands for "in before the lock". Yes I am a nerd and very few will probably get it but the couple that do in traffic should get a good laugh.

or the wife says it stands for " I be the tall" which I guess is sorta fitting as well

I might removed the rear blocks here soon for an easy little drop in the rear but I really want to do a 4/6, think that would look perfect.
