Default Gettins are Back and better than ever..

Well at least mine are.. .......I finally got them back last week and wanted to share some photos. Now I haven't mounted them and won't until next week maybe but here are some pics of them in their new condition.

I had bent 2 wheels on the inside and sent them to get fixed, I figured since they were out there I might aswell get some upgrades. The clearcoat on the lips was starting get very dull so I decided to have them strip the clear, re-polish the lips with no clear coat and hi-polish the inside barrels with clearcoat so i can have them shine but not over shine the wheel itself plus haveing them clearcoated makes it easy to clean up inside. very clean look imo. its like haveing brand new wheels again, I must admit I really like the blk wheels but God I missed my Gettins

also i took some side angle shots to show the BFG's 265/30/20 rear and 245/30/20 fronts that some have pm'd me about but i didn't have my wheels to show them closer looks at the time.


pics..

You've just proven that when something becomes old and maybe slightly boring, it can be reborn into something that is exciting again. The end result on the Gettins in fabulous. How can you possibly even think to wait another week to mount them?

Will be looking forward to future pics.

no need for pm, its their everyday prices so if anyones want to know it was Glens wheel repair and polishing in tampa, FL. they cost $75.00 a barrel for hi-polishing and clearcoating each. so $300.00 is what it came to for the barrels.

this is so true man. i was so feeling the blk wheels and since i haven't seen my Gettins in a couple weeks i didn't realize how much i missed them. when i went to pick them up i was so happy with the results and felt like i had brand new and improved gettins. they truly were reborn better than ever imo. waiting has become common with me so i'm used to it now..

guys thanx alot

I don't know the exact price for the lips to get done cuz i had some dents and stuff to get fixed aswell plus stripping of clear was added. I would say about 50.00 but just call and you can use me or sean lexusondubs as referls..
