I think this weekend I will put one of them on the truck just to see what its going to look like.

i think the all white will look like a NATO ambulance. .. i flat black everything and i think flat black rims looks nice with any color truck. if you want you can offload them to me for $70 and I will flat black them and show them how they look on my truck!

X2. Had a similar experience. I've heard blasting with walnut shells helps avoid bad pitting, similar to the glass beads mentioned above.

And BTW, awesome score! My vote is stay white!

I have a set of off-white wolf wheels and a set of black, can't say I prefer one over the other.

yeah they are wolf wheels. my friend in the royal army said they are purposfully destroyin defenders because they are only getting new IED armoured ones if the old partially armoured ones die out first. so there is an influx of underground ex-mod defender parts

These are off of a NAS 110, the guy put alloys on it and the guy I bought them from had bought them for his XD but then sold it before he put them on.
They were sitting in his storage unit taking up space.
He has a set of DI 5-spoke steel rims too but I wanted the solid ones.

Those things are nothing but classy, can't wait to see them all painted up (white I hope). I've been looking for a similar set for my FJ40, love that old school look.
