Hey Kenny, what did you use to strip them? A couple of my rims look to have been chromed?

Here's my new tires and some polishing on the rim - damn that's a lot of work, ha ha.

The center cap is plastic, but it is covered in stainless so it will need to be stripped too. Mark the tire,and pull the wheel weights so you get all that old yellow clear coat off. Just stripping off the clear coat makes a huge difference. At first, I just used some Turtle wax white polishing compound to bring out the shin, but after learning how to buff aluminum, I went back and redid the rims. It is easier to do, if you take the rims off of the truck,but I did mine in the truck. Your Coopers look good.

I've used oven cleaner before and it worked great.

This one has what started as factory 16x6.5s, but they have been widened. Fronts are 8.5" and rears are 10.5", both now have a matching offset so the fronts don't look wider than the rears.

This one is running 15" Aero wheels, 8" front and 10" rear.

24" Carbon Edition wheels and 305/35/24 tires. When I paint the truck in a month or two I plan to repaint entire wheel black and add a blue accent to match the same blue that I'm using to outline the graphics I do on it.

I edited a picture of them w my S-pen on my phone, something like this, but not as sloppy looking lol
