Color Matched Slotted Steelies for Snow Wheels

RZ Lee said:

I wanted something different for my snow tires. I found a set of MAV take off naked steelies for $100 (with TPMS). I went through about 12 different colors of rattle can yellow (none were ever called orange!) to find the closest I could without spending $100's of for a quart of true color Cyber Orange matched paint.

Months ago on the forum I saw somebody sketch these wheels out, sort of like the old GM slotted steel wheels. The black part is paint.

For those who will ask - the closest rattle can paint I could find is Rust Oleum Caterpillar Yellow. You can't see it but Rust Oleum also makes a pearl clear. I wouldn't use it for panel repair the but the end result is pretty damn close to Ford Cyber Orange.

The center caps are painted black but I found out the XLT lug nuts won't hold the center cap. Found a set on eBay so I'm waiting for those.

I'm happy with the result. I'm guessing I'll never run across another truck that looks like this one.

love the retro style, very creative touch with the slotted-effect paint job! I'd personally like to see some chrome dog dish hubcaps with these to really complete the vintage look.
