did you remove the parts prior to painting the arms etc or did you just paint it while it was on? Looks much better than seeing rusted dirty parts imo

I would have loved to have some tires with more meat but the thing is that they came with the wheels so i couldnt pass on them, therefore i ride with what they came with.
I like the wheels

I removed only the rotors and calipers and caliper brackets, i didnt want to remove anything else because i just spent 80 bucks on a 4 wheel alignment a few days ago, and i dont feel like going back to the place and telling them to re-align, plus a wire wheel worked perfect and i was able to get to every angle.

did you just have a drill and wire brush it or did you use some other tool? I might have to do this to some of my rusty under carriage parts.
