Xj Rims
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.

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!

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