Looks good, but now you need to put some tire black/shine on your tires. It always bugs me when the wheel is a nice glossy black, and the tires look dusty and flat grey looking. I realize that you drive on dirt a lot and all that, but that's just me. Looks good, but I think cleaning the tires up would really pull it together.

I've been thinking about stripping the clear coat off of mine and either polishing them, or painting the inner part black. How tough is it to get the lugs off and back on? I don't have an air wrench, but I have some pretty big socket wrenches and a breaker bar. Also, do they need to be rebalanced or anything after putting them back on, if they already are before you take them off?

I'm pretty surprised you have never taken tires off.

The black wheels look good.

yo swaggerwagon, did you paint your engine silver? If so, looks good. Did you paint it with it out or in the truck? Mine needs some paint...

I swapped my engine out last year for a lower mile 350, i painted it up before i installed it...The block/heads are black, valve covers/intake/accessory brackets are silver...
