New wheels
Picked these up from a guy on cl for $200. Nothin fancy but they're better than stock and will fix my rubbing on full lock issue. Now for the hard part. I'd love to get them powdercoated, but I'm not gonna have the spare cash or time to get them done anytime soon, and frankly, I'm an impatient bastard lol.
So here's the plan, I'm gonna clean one up really good but not polish it, pd one, and polish the mess out of another and see what I like best. Anyone got any opinions? Here's a couple of pics of the wheels. Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

I used some aluminum wheel cleaner and a soft bristle brush. I'm gonna try a scotch pad and some elbow grease and see how good that works
