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.

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.
