While I agree the polished looks better, I'm pretty sure he's going for the least expensive and least maintenance. Which in this case would be the machined, they really don't look bad machined though.



Maintenance upkeep of polished sucks tonneh dicks

Wait, I have more than one? And to think all this time I only thought I had one.

I was just saying polish and clear because it looks best and he said he had a powdercoat hookup. Machined doesn't look bad by any means but if you are gonna be having them cleared anyway, why not wait a little longer and take the time to polish them before the clear. Still the same upkeep if they are painted or powdered a different color. Just my .02.

Looks good though. Have you decided what caps to run yet?

You never sent me any pics so I thought you weren't interested. Lol. Thats about an hour an 15 minutes from me. Ace hardware or walmart in minden is where its at.

I know :/ took the pics and forgot to send them.

I know someone who has Denali wheels that would trade for yours

Use to want Denali wheels to match the Denali front but just not so sure about them anymore.

True but he said he had a powder coat hookup. Polish and clear powder > any other finish (no offense eddeh) lol

Looks good. Will look better with polished wheels and painted handles for sure. That's a 10" kit right?

Can't wait! Wheels are supposed to ship the 29th. Goes in tmorrow for all all the bells and whistles motor wise and in the next few weeks I shoukd have a bunch more stuff powder coated now that things are winding down with it and I have the time
Been raining everyday for the last 6 god damn weeks and work has been nuts, on top of all the other shit we've had to swap over between trucks. So I'm glad this project is winding down a bit lol

That looks fucking awesome. I'm not a Ford person, but can you swap a newer Super Dooky grille/headlights onto that body style? If so, would be tits.
