Re: polishing a turd.
Good afternoon Ezernut9mm!
Your new wheels look fantastic, and really impact the truck's overall appearance. Those white steel wheels are my favorite type!
Well done.

Re: polishing a turd.
thanks for the response robroy. i really think the white wheels and dog dish hub caps make for a very stock appearance, especially on a long bed.

Re: polishing a turd.
You know, when I saw the title, "Polishing a Turd", I didn't have to look at who the author was, or what truck we were gonna be talking about 
Seriously though, those wheels make it the best looking turd around

Re: polishing a turd.
Those wheels changed the shade of the paint on the truck. Before it looked dingy and dirty, but now it looks new. Great addition. You have to change your signature picture now.

Re: polishing a turd.
i'd love to, but i don't want to paint over my "vote yes right to carry" bumper sticker. it just screams redneck and keeps people off my tail.

Re: polishing a turd.
I agree with most above...
"Polishing a tured" just aint right!
Looks a lot more original than most of our trucks here!
