Painting my 5 spoke jeep wheels

[RichP]

Caught in a quandary, trying to decide between using this THIS or
THIS

I'm figuring I should gain a MPG or two with the chrome but the other stuff would make it easier to change a ripped tire out on the trail.....
Whatch think











Actually I'm thinking about using the illum around my door locks, make that tailgate a bit easier to open when it's locked at nite.

 

[Dookie]

for a second, i thought you were serious about the MPG thing - and i was going to throw myself out the window...

 

[buzzbombxj]

chrome gives you horsepower, not mpg. same with stickers. i was thinking about window netting, they say its good for 25-30 horspower

Blinker Fluid...change it often.

Blinker Fluid...change it often.

STAY ON TOPIC!!!
Gold will attract robbers chrome will to but much less. The illuminated look is cool but for those late night robberies it just dosn't work. I personally would have to scrap the whole painting idea and get spinners.

This is America.

Do any damn thing you want.

Especially if it betters your chances with the females.

Now, pass that decaf., Biff...

I'm thinking 13x7 reverse offset 100 spoke wire wheels with 155 85 13's to keep all that ground clearance a 9" lift and chrome suspension

Enerybody around here has silver rims,with a yellow tint. My dog makes the rounds every morning. The stains wouldn't show up on the gold as much.

I would opt for the walmart spinnerzzzzzz

I bet you could put little blotches of JB weld around the edge and have a simulated beadlock

How about the above mentioned Wally World spinners and the "glow-in-the-dark" paint?

 

[Beej]

Rich, I have to say I'm quite surprised. I would have never expected trolling from you!
To answer your questions seriously though:
That glow in the dark stuff is highly radioactive, that's why it glows. Be careful with that stuff.
That duplichrome makes the fakest looking chrome I have ever seen. Its not even close to the shiny chrome plating on the cap. Terrible product.
