So I should up the price on the one Im going to sell?

I thought they had them too

Seems like I seen one that looked stock but also had the detroit logo on it. Anyone seen those before?

I think that american flag would go good against the dark grey of hood.

Im going to paint the new to me hood to replace the messed up hood on the truck now. Where can I get new hood decals? Is there any that have a different design or something that looks cool?

I got on here and asked what glow plugs to use, everyone pointed me to the bosch. So far so good.

I thought about sand blasting them, I guess soda blasting is the best for aluminum.

id start with 220, I ran out of 220 and had 150, I doubt Ill get all the scratches out.

Sanding the clear coat helped the stripper work. Its still takes forever though. I don't even have 2 done yet, just to time consuming. Within the next 2 weeks I hope to have them done and on.

But they are superior Must be superior in cost savings. Im surprised GM spent the money on alcoas in the first place. They probably used them to designe the rim and then threw them under bus. Us poor guys will take what we can get. It will look nicer then my stamped steel rims:hihi:

mine say superior

Ive wet sanded them down to 2000 grit and now im polishing. I dont want to do it again

I don't drive it in the winter

I read through that before I made this post, I remembered it from back when I bought these rims. I was just curious over the past 2 years if anyone had any different opinions. Maybe their new clear coat started pealing. I still have 3 rims to go, right now im planning on clear coat unless...
