    Your right there. But I think he's taking the 8" ralleys from his truck to go on his wagon.

    Find a plating company and have the wheels dipped to take off the chrome.

    I am grateful for all the responses but they are not a expensive wheel so if I go this route I will just buy some painted or ready to paint and worry about my wagon after it is running.

    Just do what OldFox wrote or rough them up with sandpaper and shoot some white rattle can on for now.

    Let me clarify what I meant to say, I am just gonna leave everything as is. I was just thinking about using what I have instead of buying new wheels for my wagon when
    I get it together but I will cross that bridge then and may even dip into my rainey day funds and treat it to a nice set of wheels but right now I am hunting a serpentine
    set-up off a 90's Chevy p/u for my motor but even that can wait until I set the motor down in the car if need be.
