Here's a little preview of what I'm doing this whole week.
I have to do this one at a time since I don't have access to a lift. :doh: The coloring int he picture sucks, the yellow-ish hue is coming from the garage light. In reality, it's extremely white. I took the picture from the Sidekick 2.

Again, the camera doesn't do the white justice.
I'm working on the back 2 wheels at the same time then after that, it's the driver wheel. Almost home free. :D
I also have trim rings on the way. :bow:

At first I thought you were painting your wheels the "safety yellow" color of the tC's spare tire. The white looks good, though. Nice job.

:eyes: Didn't expect to get plenty of praises for this. AFter all, it's only a $70~ job.
Trim rings will be here by saturday or monday. Hopefully Saturday, you'll all see the finished product once I get my trim rings.

I wasn't planning on painting the tires. Why would I paint it? O.o

lol, I know it's not gonna win a lot of prizes but it's definitely better than the dirty stock steelies. Just a cheap $70~ upgrade to the wheels.
