Hey guys I'm lifting my xj 3.5". I already got tires and started buying parts already. I bought a set of rims to use but they just need to be cleaned up. They are older aluminum jeep rims. I was wondering on some of your opinions on how I should finish the rims? I'm stuck between polishing them or just spraying them black. Also on how I should go about doing that. Thanks for your help.

 

You should mail me one of the center caps for the one I lost on my YJ. I think they would look pretty cool just cleaned up or paint the front edges black and leave the rest.

Funny thing is that when I bought the rims I got 5 center caps but only 4 rims. I would send you one to help out a fellow jeep guy but then I'll be s.o.l if I loose one.

 

So I just finished polishing and painting one of my rims. I was wondering what you think about it? I woud love to hear what you think about it.

 

Good job! Looks great

 

Thanks! It took me about 3hrs to get it the way I liked it. They only have to look good untill jeep jam in June and July. By then I'll have the lift on and after jeep jam I'm hittin the trails!

 

That style is by far my favorite stock rim. I have a set on my '99. They were just sandblasted and painted flat black.

 

 

Those look great with the lips painted black!!! My favorite stock wheels also, and that polished with black lip makes it even better.

 

Thanks alot guys. I'm glad that you like them. I'll post a pic of my jeep as soon as I get the lift and everything done so you can see the finished product.
