Steel rally wheels off of an 83 with metal center caps

Those look really cool, and just a little bit different. That's the only thing I don't like about the stock Burb wheels, they're so common. Eventually I want to polish them like Kenny did on his white pickup. They look SO good

Kenny's look really good. Thanks for the compliment. The rally wheels that I have are getting hard to come by nowadays. If you fimd any they are usually a pretty penny.

Is your truck dropped at all? I plan on doing the exact same setup
Only the back is dropped about 2 inches. As for my rims, they are not clear coated. I striped the OE clear coat and paint off with some air craft paint striper I bought at Orileys. Then I painted the outter sections black.Then I buffed the rims out with a with a cotton buff on an air die grinder using some brown jewelers rouge first, then some white jewelers polish, with a new cotton buff, then hand buff with white diamond metal polish, and last, a polish seal with some new finish car wax. Now I just repeat the new finish every few months. I did the same thing on my tailgate banner.

Not sure if I said this before, but that banner looks sweet! Wish I could do that to my 97's banner, but the winter and salt would definitely take a toll on it. Don't know if I can clear coat polished aluminum, or might be able to have someone powdercoat it so that it doesn't corrode.

So if I did the same thing, but clearcoated it, I wouldnt have to worry about waxing in theory. My truck is dropped 2/4 (well, its in the process)
