haha funny you mention the spacers, they are sitting on a shelf lol. got wider rims and bigger tires, and they rub without spacers, so I want to lift it before I put the spacers back on

Matt- Where did you mount the other Rigid Dually LED light?

I only purchased one. It's a Dually D2, it's as bright as two Duallys (same price as two Duallys too!) so they sell them in singles.

Took a few more shots of the wheels. It's really tough to get the color on camera because of the way light reflects off of them.
No, they still look too blue...you should definitely just get rid of them. I wouldn't really want to but I guess I could take them off of your hands. :bigok::lmao:
Ha, seriously I think they look great. I've been wanting to get something in that color for my truck. I think it would look awesome with black. More ideas, as if I needed anymore. :naughty:

It's just plastidip, about $50 if you wanna try... I think you have experience with plasti and wheels so I assume you know how to do it :wink2:
and they don't look blue at all in real life, it's just the sky reflecting in the metallic flakes I guess.

Yes, I have used plastidip on several items on my truck...several times. Like you, I get curious and bored often and am always wanting to change things up just for the sake of it. I seriously may pick some of this up though for my SE wheels. I've only worked with the black color and have been itching to try this newer color since it came out.
I was just teasing about the blue tint, more in support for my "give'em away joke" lol. They don't look blue at all in those last two pictures.

It just goes over the black and the black gets lighter with each coat of "metalizer"
I thought that might be a problem too, that's why the middle photo (in the quoted post, #461) isn't edited, but it still appears blue. I also left the saturation alone in the HDRs, then decreased it a bit in iPhoto before uploading.
The contrast in the rest of the pictures seemed too low without HDR and nothing I do seems to show the true color so I just uploaded the best looking photos.

Matt- were you able to install those Hanma LED yet? Trying to get some idea of the setup =)...

Thanks again!
No I haven't had time. I think I'm going to have to take the rack off to do the best job of making them mount properly.
The mounts that come with the LED bars and the Gobi mounts aren't exactly compatible so I'm gonna have to do something custom.
