Got a look set in my head but i want to see if anyone else does it or not.

I'm looking for someone with some Painted steelies. I was thinking of doing either paint/powdercoating to some steelies and do some chrome lip "beuaty rings" on them for the somewhat old school "rat rod" look

anyone got pics?

I'd love to see that done on steelies that were re-welded to have more a lip. (there was a thread back a little while ago with em, SEXY)

wow... peeps are weard lol.

Ive allways wanted to do a matte black S13 with red steelies and whitewalls. Too bad its hard to get white walls in the right tire size and they are exspensive as hell. You can allways buy the duplicolor tire paint though
