| So I finally got to the rebuild. So for now, I'm rollin on the steelies with my brand new nexens.  Here they are fresh from being unmounted  Took me about 1 hour to take all bolts off and hammer off the lips. I was afraid it was going to take way longer. The lips came off with 1-2 rubber mallet smacks. All of the bolts are now soaking in soda. Only thing is that now i have to get 1 bolt cuz 1 of the bolts was actually just a rivet hammered in, ala sportmax.   Now gotta see about paint, I have 2 ideas, not sure which one I'm going with. Will update as soon as I have some paint done.

| Cool, thanks Ivan. I'm probably going to end up getting them polished(60 buck)then paint them along with the centers. | |

| I will have 2 inch lips up front and 2.5 in the rear. Those look like they might be 1.5 or 2 in. If they're 17's they have weird sizes like 1.75, 2.25, etc. | |
