I just got a set of chrome wheels to replace my leaky OEM 5 spoke ones. I really like how they turned out, they even make the tires look better!

I'm going to polish up the OEM wheels, attempt to fix the leaky wheel issue(grind the chrome on the inside and epoxy to create a smooth edge), and then sell on craigslist. I currently have the OEM wheels on CL for $400 before I do any work on them. If I can refurbish them, I'll charge $500. If anybody here is interested in the set I might strike you a deal, but in my opinion it's already a really good deal, especially after refurbishing.

Looks nice Hecka. Guess I should get a few pics of the new treads I just put on my Cobra's (CW3's). 255/60-18 General Grabber AT2's. Bring on the foot deep snow!

I'm really happy with the way these turned out, especially since I bought them with only seeing what they look like in the discount tire fitment tool they have on their website.

Totally post your new shoes!

I don't think my treads will be very good in the snow since they're a cheaper 'all season' brand, but I'm working my way towards getting a set of snow tires.. maybe when my tax return comes back..
