    I just went to summit to look at the cheap ones but they are shiny black and thats not what I want. Mojave's are kinda pricy, I am not sure what the thugs were. I really want the look of flat and the rims and tire to be out more towards the cladding. I know that backspaing and all that will help me achieve it. That is a main reason for not spraying my current rims.

    My want hand is feeling empty while my S@!% hand is very full.

    I hear ya. You might also consider just painting the shiny black rims with a flat coat. You should PM nocturnalVX and ask him about his rims. I think they are just regular steel wheels and should be under $100 each. Then you could just get some nice stray paint and do em up. I think a few coats of paint will last on those type of rims. All the spray paint on my VX is actualy holding up pretty well...

    The Chambers set me back, for sure, especially the 5th one. And I just noticed yesterday that there is a giant hunk of metal stuck in one of my tires. Its not loosing air, but...
