new snow rims

[Keithvibe]

Being my wife's Kia Soul has a 5x114 bolt pattern her old snows wouldn't fit. My old rims are now her new snow tires.
These rims:

Being I gave my father my steelies for him to use for his snow tires. That left me looking for a new set of rims to use for my own snow tires
I now have a new set of rims that will need some TLC but once I'm done with them they will work nicely for new snow tires.
As long as they hold air and can be balanced I'm set.

This is the worst of the rash.

lots of sanding and three coats of primer and this is what I got.


I do have the insides of each rim coated in one layer of gloss black but I haven't taken any photos because they still need more more coat

finished
4 coats

kinda see the black inside in this photo

this was the one with the really bad road rash.
