My old wheels were the Gray Alum. ones. I stripped them and polished them to give them a brushed looked. I liked those wheels more then the ones I have now.


New wheels are H2 wheels, and if you did not know these DON'T just bolt on, you have open up the center hole.
This little lip is the part that has to come off

I used my router with a Flush bit, and guide bearing.
Placed the guide bearing aginst the wheel, and set the depth




Only way to do it from the back side, that allows the bearing to be on the right area of the wheel and router gets a smooth place to glide

Finished part, almost like I knew what I was doing!



Now for tires, same Stock 315/70/17 off the H2. Its about a 35 and finally a tire that fits the wheel well of the dodge

 

yep they are nice, looks like mine, but mines blue..

 

thanks for the write up. They look great. I can't help thinking how good they
would look in a semi gloss black or charcoal gray color.

 

Mine are getting a semi gloss black powder coat on them as I speak. Should be ready tomorrow.

 

then show us some pictures of them with your new powder coating Im wondering how they will look..!!??

 

as am i...

 

Will do...

 

I think blacks the way to go but I may be a little byeist

 

just got mine powder coated black- they go on next week! can't wait!!

 

I did the same thing last week. The router is the way to go. Mine are the new '08 H2s. Very nice!

Cool, thanks for posting the pics, hope to get some chrome H2's next year.
BTW, did you trim your caps or double nut them?

 

nice write up, did mine the same way.

I just painted mine, cheaper than PC

 

chrome goes with my rig though...




i think if i powdercoated them- my bumpers would be the only thing holding me back from the whole black/blue look. which would look insane

 

Yah, it does, mine's the same colour.
River's looks like it's a serious truck though eh?

 

yea. supposedly there is a guy around my area- same color truck but a long bed, with the same wheels. talk about being ****** off about that... ill probably add chrome door spears and side steps to accent the truck alittle more. i was against keeping her chrome and blacking her out- but bumper covers run a nice $450 a piece.. no thanks.
