Ya, I too prefer the cheap paint method.. powdercoat may be tougher, but you'll be P.O.'ed when they still scratch. Be carefull when installing/removing lugnuts as the socket will likely be deep enough to bottom out and spin directly on the face of the rim around the lugnut.. Anyway, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Looks Fantastic! Keep postin' them pics!

Edit: HEY you're not too far from me.. only a days drive, lol. I want to get a winter drive planned up this year maybe. There's another member I haven't seen on here in a while (londart) has a lifted Sportage and he lives in the same city as me in Cda, Idaho! I know another guy with a OE sportage with 215's and he might want to do some winter trailing too. What'ya think? I want alot of snow like we had the winter before last.. the town was shut down that day, and I was out in it lovin' it up! I don't go muddin, I go Snuddin! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
