Default steelies

im the pickiest mother f'er when it comes to wheels. i want black with no polished lip, all the ones i find that i like they dont make in my bolt pattern. i saw a white truck the other day with a spare on. what do you guys think of a set of the spare steelies powdercoated semi-gloss black on my white truck with a 2/4 drop? the only think im concerned about is the weight. anyone know hwat these weigh? also id have to figure something out about the centercap issue, the lug bolts can be painted or powderocated too

no, no, no. IMHO, thats a bad idea. I don't have any good ideas to givev you, except you can always get whatever you want powercoated. Just don't put spares on there.

The spare tires might not look so bad. If your talking about the same style that comes on the work vans and trucks. Just have them powder coated and get some nice tires and lug's that cover up the studs and they might look ok. I took the Akuza's off mine to sell and put stock chrome 17's with chrome lugs instead of the GMC center cap. In my eyes they don't look to bad. When you consider I've only got 75 dollars into the wheels and tires they start looking a LOT better lol!
