Wheel Covers . . . finally

I finally managed to get some free time to get my smooth wheel covers made. I took a cue from Mrtony5:

They came out great. I'm looking forward to the results.

My next project is going to be an upper grill block. I'm also going to need new tires soon, so I'm looking at lrr tires in the next couple of months. I get a nice discount on tires through work.

Sweet. I'm wondering how they look on that very planar-looking car!

Just an update, I've since painted these suckers with paint on bedliner. I figure it's a much more durable product to use in the long run.

That's what I love about this place too. Everyone has great ideas and shares them so others can use and/or make tweaks for their vehicles.
