    Polish that massive lip show it off if u paint it it won't stay for long being that wide rocks and road grime will chip it up unless u powder coat it

    Lots of elbow grease mothers makes a real good metal polish comes in a small cup . It may take some time tho u may have a wheel restore company around you that can do it but the first method is free just a lotta work

    Ok so these are the two ways I want to get my rims done, one black and red or polish and red kinda like these....
    Just have to find someone that can fix a couple of curb rash that they have and polish them...

    I'm all for gloss black and polished lip or high gloss silver and polished lip . But having a lip that big I would def polish it up it will give your truck a whole new look

    Lol I didn't mean it was bad, what I meant was that I want them super clean like new... The rims look great but sense I got new tiers on the rims I got now I can invest in these... To make the look even better... Like new...
