Looking good, and if you do ever scratch them you can repaint them yourself

Liking the Yokohama Geolanders, don't see them often here.

WIN !! If you ever do another set, that matt/satin black stone chip paint comes up very good and resists a bit more wear and tear !! Great job man, my jimny is on nice alloys atm but i have a set of manky steelys so gona satin black them i reckon !!

Thanks Adam,

Makes a huge difference, and the tinting would make it look even better. Nice work!

Definately need to do mine now
