    Hey, just joined the forum. Picked up this thing and I'm stoked. Need some cosmetic help though...

    IMG_0444.jpg

    The guy I bought it from did a shitty job painting the fenders, front end, stock wheels and even the bed liner to black. So bad that if you rub your hand on it some paint comes off.

    I'm pretty set on getting polished wheels. All I want to know is how I can make these look good on this truck.

    71G1I9dRCGL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

    I've been learning from scratch DIY mechanical stuff as I go for the past few years but body work is uncharted territory for me. What can I do to get these wheels to look good on my truck??? Maybe they'll look good the way the truck currently is?? I'm hoping for some economical DIY solutions. Otherwise, will just going with the black finished wheels be wiser??

    Thanks!!
