Haha reminds me of mine on stocks after I lifted it except I didn't have flares haha. As for the wobble, have them road force the tires. Mud tires normally always shake and I work at a tire shop. Everyone will say they can get their mud tires to balance pefectly but it seems like 1 out of every 6 mud tires made is out of round and I am sure when they balanced them, they put the worst on the rear and and spare. They probably just did a static clip balance which is what I do on mine so there are no weights on the outside but it's never a perfect balance.

Ahhh man those looks absolutely awesome! Ask Lloyd if he would be so kind to let you burn some of that rubber! Yeah I would bet those things would flex like crazy when tucked all in the wheel well!

She is fast haha, mileage is pretty good too.

Ok, so I called a place to get the wheels powdercoated. Quoted me 225 for 5 but that is only if the wheels are bare aluminum. If they have a clear coat on them they will have to sandblast and that can take the cost up to 350-500.. Is there a way to see if the wheels are bare aluminum? I have no experience in this field.

yea i agree they probably are polished up with clear on them. i assume youd have to have the tires dismounted first anyway, just wire wheel em yourself.

Wire wheeling is going to show all the marks of the wire wheel. I can't remember where I saw it but I was quoted like $160 for my old wheels blasted and powder coated. You should look at gunmetal too that would look sick!

I would just scratch a small part and see if it chips or what happens, I would imagine that they are coated though.

Leave 'em aluminum. Much better, I think. It looks really good with the blue, too.
