i just got some crager soft 8`s and 31`s for $220 . and i just sold my stocks for $100 so i got custom wheels and tires for $120.

the tires only have about 30% tread but still usable, i used my stock center caps. i know its not a huge improvement like a lift kit or something, but overall im happy with them, i also have my eye on a used roof rack,i think it would look nice.

I have those same valve caps in what used to be black...the paint wore off and now its a bronze color.. What kind of paint did you use on your rims?

I sanded them foreverrrr then primed them like 3 times with Rust-oleum Automotive Primer. Then I did about 4 coats of Rust-oleum 2X Ultra Cover Flat Black. Its for painting inside and outside stuff, w.e. . Im not sure exactly how long they will last, but it only cost me 20bucks or so for black rim and if they do chip, I will just touch them up. Im really happy with the way they look :D
