    Default I just painted my stockies. How do they look?

    Hey guys. I decided to paint my stockies and put some tyres on them so the new owner has some nice new rubber to ride on.

    How do they look?

    Yeah not bad,

    At least you took them off to do it...i seen some shockers before where the owner has just painted the rim while on the car nuts,hubs & all. & by the looks of it tried to wipe away the overspray on the tyre but it was still pretty visible.

    they look like new ones, only one thing you should have removed the weights cos' they are going to be moved when you have the tyres refitted and balanced.

    Well i got them put on. They look pretty good. Im lucky if i can get traction in 2rd in the wet tho. The rears are 225 and the fronts a 205's.

    This is with 4 of my 17's on the back seat, Kicker and amp in the boot, a spare and 2 more stock statesman rims in the boot with no tyres.
