I've finished the wheels and very happy with how they turned out.

Top is next, but waiting for it to be replaced first of course before I do any work on it.

Looks very sharp with the white painted wheels. What did you use for paint?

From base tires to 33 inch tires was a mega improvement in looks. White painted wheels, I think are same or maybe 5% better look at best than steel. Mixed feelings on the white grill.
And yes for the center caps

True, going from silver to white is not as impactful as black to white, for example. And the grille is definitely a love it or hate it kind of thing

Very nice!

Very curious about the white top, how it will look.

Slap some latex on that reject real quick, just for a sneak preview....see if ya like it. LOL!

Looks great.
If you ever need to respray, forget the tape. You can use an old deck of playing cards. Insert the cards between the tire bead and wheel. Even acts as an over spray shield

Looks good Tim. I think I like the caps black for that little bit of contrast. My opinion is it would be too much white if you painted them.

BTW, you guys running the white letter tires has me thinking. At first I was adament that I wouldn't run the white letters out. But, now I'm not so sure. I kinda like the white letter tires on the Bronco. Bringing back the retro thing.

Looks great considering you did it with all that wind. I think it looks better with the black caps. I wonder how durable this method would be over time. Thank you for sharing.
