15" Steelies

[BassAssassin]

I've been wanting to get rid of my hubcaps and paint my stock steelies silver. However, I have no time to take them off, mask the tire, paint, and re-install. I've been looking for a cheap set of steel wheels to paint at my leisure. But, they all seem to be fairly expensive. Anybody know of a place to get cheap steel wheels? Used is an option.

1)pop of the wheel covers and clean them when you wash your car
2)you can carefully smear vaseline on the tires and it will keep the silver paint from sticking to them
3)tuck a painters tarp behind the wheels, one at a time using real care to make sure the paint won't overspray on to the car
4)spray them
5)all done in under 2 hours

Awesome. A helluva lot easier than I thought, and much cheaper than buying new wheels.
