    I love the look of bronze rims, IMHO a great choice, very distinctive. However the stock rims colored bronze would not cut it.

    Also I think you'll like the Treadwright M/T Guard Dog tires. I'm still very impressed with mine and have been asked more than once about what tires to get by clients and other curious types. I tell them "treadwright.com" before I mention that no, my tires really are not technically brand new, not really 100% BFG M/T's, and when I tell them the approx price they are practically sold on the concept already just on looks and my opinion. You won't find a better deal on a really great set of shoes IMHO.

    For Gorilla brand Red anodized lug nuts, it would be best to visit the official website of www.Gorilla-Auto.com and purchase them from a reputable authorized dealer such as www.SummitRacing.com which carries their entire line of products. I wouldn't trust the safety of my ride with some bogus eBay "clone" copies. Just saying...........

    Hey Grif have you seen Mbeach's gallery? He has some Nissan bronze rims that I think look pretty good.

    Another one of my friends took my advice and got tread wright's on his jeep and loves them. Now I just need them after all this recommending. What size are yours again?

    I like the red stripe, too, and that's what I did to my stock Mustang rims almost 20 years ago. No need to make it permanent either. All I used was 3M auto pinstriping left over from my side trim.



    I think it complements the trim well.

    Please forgive the ghetto fabrication job, but all i have is microsoft 'paint'.

    if the powdercoater can do detail, how about accenting the edge of each spoke like the back wheel?

    Or, if you want more subtle, how about pinstripe the 'groove thing' (i dont know what else to call it) on each spoke???
