    • Okay i said no real big updates cause i am trying to save money BUT.... I came across these wheels. I had bought a set before but they we replica's and all the same offset so i sold them for what i paid. I picked these up for $200 and there a FULL set and there original wheels. They need alot of work but i think i could pull them off.

            Keep that color, definitely. I don't think your truck's color combo would support white wheels.

            • These are the last pics ill post with this wheel setup. I hope to have my new wheels on by the end of the week. I still need to test fit for tires and give them some TLC.

              • Sucks about the engine, but looks like its going to be even better once back together! And keep the current color of the wheels, looks awesome against the blue Keep up the good work man.

                  • Love this build man! My first car was a 2001 Chevy S10 V6 4.3L, loved that thing until the service engine light kept coming on, couldn't troubleshoot it and never figured out what it was, sold the thing for 3k, miss all the time. Sucks about the engine I think mine was on its way out as well and I sold it just in time.

                        Yeah i love this truck. Wont ever sell it! Been to hell and back with it through its issues and problems over the past 5 years. The service engine light issue..... Its the part of the CPU for your spark plugs that has burned out. I have had the light on for the past 2 years and there's nothing wrong with the truck. To replace the CPU its like $700 fix.

                        I got the truck up and running now and with no issue "KNOCK ON WOOD" now i have to get these wheels cleaned up and have to order spacers for the front now.

                        • Ill be up front. These wheel are in bad condition. That is why i got such a good deal on them. The clear coat is gone and fading in some spots, alot of curb marks, tons of scratches BUT....... I am going to do the best to just use simple products to make them look decent. I could care less how they look since they will get destroyed during the bag build.

                          "If anyone has any suggestions on helping me with some products i could use to clean these up don't hesitate to speak up!"

                          Here's my process:
                          1. Clean wheels to see what i have to work with. Done!
                          2. Polishing the lip's to clean off the mark/oxidation ect. Done!
                          3. Rewash the wheels with decreaser/wheel cleaner. Done!
                          4. Tape off wheel and re-paint the faces (SAME COLOR).
                          5. Re work the lips to look good,
                          6. Order Center caps, spacers, lugs, and tires.
                          7. Done Overall.

                          What they look like before TLC began.

                          • Worst part of this resto. Taping up these wheels. Wish they were just a 3pc wheel to make matters easy but no...
