What would you recommend for a chrome wheel? Like for the sandpaper? I love the way your wheels turned out, they look ******* sick! Good job dude.

Actually, those are stock shocks with Eibach Sportline springs. They look great but where I live, the roads are unforgiving and I scrape alot. But now that I got new tires, Its not bad at all!


P.S. If anyone wants the springs that are on my car I will be taking them off soon, due to the fact I will be moving soon to even worse road conditions. So just shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks man alot of time went into those wheels. Well honestly I would never try to paint chrome wheels, I would either have them powdercaoted, or just find someone to trade for silver ones +some cash. But if you want to try it I would go with 200 grit sand paper to really get the chrome off, then prime it, then paint. I know its not alot of info, but hopefully it will help.
