The original wheels were sand blasted, primed and painted black. New tires were purchased from Coker Tire.


The sand blasted wheels ready for primer. They were sand blasted inside and out to remove all of the rust. About 90% of the wheel is covered by the trim ring and hubcap. The only part that is visible is the outer edge. We did a little bit of filler work on the areas that show to fill in some small rust pits.


The wheels were sprayed with a coat of epoxy primer.


They were painted gloss black with U-Tech 200 polyurethane black.


The new wide white tires were purchased from Coker Tire.
