Yeah, I'm leaning toward that. I was looking into powdercoating, but I'm not sure it's really worth it.
It'll be a hell of a lot easier to make any changes before mounting them though.

I agree with this, but that's just my personal taste. Not sure what it is, but silver wheels always look out of place to me.

Depends on vehicle color. Looks good on silver vehicle imo

These paints work really well. Spraymax puts down one nice clearcoat.

I found this in a search. Pretty close to how mine would look. Still wondering how the backspacing will look. I don't think there will be much difference.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to pick up some Spidertrax because I'm kind of in the same boat.
I can't justify the cost of aftermarket wheels when so there's so many nice looking OEM wheels people are trying to unload.
I just redid my grill and bug guard with those paints. I'd previously just used Rustoleum. I'm hoping it holds up on the mesh.
Oh yeah, I also used it on my flares after a coating of bedliner spray. It's really shiny.

Looking at the wheels, I've been thinking of painting them a "cement gray" type color.
Also, I need replacements for the rear wheel flare trim that seals against the body. Local dealer wanted $36 each.
Not sure if there's an aftermarket one that's worked for others. Otherwise, I'll order OEM.

I am about to paint my truck with this
interlux.com
In the Steel Gray color. I have sprayed it before and its very durable and super forgiving. Cheap too.
If you are still looking for wheel spacers let me know, I have a pair of spidertrax spacers I am not using, one of the wheel studs needs to be replaced though. I would pass them on cheap. I also have a set of the 4wp G2 spacers that I am not using. I have been running a pair of those in the rear of my truck for 3ish years and they have held up great.

If you’re looking for a good “cheater bar” I picked up a spare Hi-Lift handle here for $11 bucks. Works great.
