thank you! that white sport badge is gone so the Jeep emblems are the only thing left in silver. have you heard of plasti-dip? you should try using that to paint your rims like i did because its 100% reversible if you dont like it.

yeah i was thinking the same thing? no surface prep needed? (well, cleaning of course, but no sanding/scuffing? Just slap it over the shiny clear on my rims and it will stick?

i have black ones if you want them i didnt use, let me know. and it peels off with some effort so if you dont like it you can take it right off.

it sticks very well, i only put one coat on my rims and they hold up fine. its liquid rubber so its really water resistant. obviously if something hard hits them it will leave a mark but you can touch up spray and it blends right in.

the only prep i do is give the surface a thorough cleaning and spray. i use dawn dish soap since its a degreaser. i tried cleaning a set of rims with car turtle ice car was soap one time and the plasti dip didnt like to stick to it after since there was wax in the soap.

So far I like it. Rear springs just go replace with some cheap new stockers I picked up since they started sagging really bad.

The tires are about 30.5" tall. They're the same size as a stock TJ Rubicon.
