Re: Check out this Suburban!

I like the patina look myself, but it will not last in this area. Those western trucks that are sun-faded and bare would rust to the ground in this environment. The faux treatment gives better (sealed) paint coverage while retaining the worn-thin look.

That said, I can dig wide whites on 15" steel wheels as well as the 20-22 inch aluminum wheels. It just depends upon the whoole look that you are after.
Diversity makes enthusiasts and draws groups like this together.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.

I like it! I'm doing that to my suburban when I'm ready for paint.
