Is that yours? I keep seeing it when I Google search pics for 2" lift. What's the specs on it?

Do you have some good pics of that? I always wondered how the textures would look up next to the rubber.

Me too! Haven't found any yet. Looking at libby wheels too they're similar but I don't know about the backspacing.

I've got a 97 Country with those gosh-awful honeycomb-looking lattice things. They probably looked pretty nice when new but the aluminum part of them has chipped/corroded through the years.
Has anyone painted any of these things?

I'd sand it down, not sure about adding a primer but glossy black and spray clear coat makes them look great
