Thanks guys. Its still a temporary solution until I get money for proper rims, but thanks for your support. I really think they look good enough until I get something proper. Been looking at the Verde Protocol from Tire Rack, but not until these tires wear out.

lol yeah. yours was probably easier to do though. My inside parts were in pretty good shape, but the fronts had corrosion from the wheel weights that I was trying to cover up.

and that is definitely the illusion they give off. Those are sweet!
