WOW! sounds like the guy in our town. my buddy was talkin to him and he said he had to shine his tires. got out cans of black paint and painted 'em up.
my stuffs only temporary. gittin the yuokon rims machined and new tires for 'em in a few weeks.
reminds me of the guy in my town that painted his own whitewalls on his tires. its really funny though because he did a really crappy job and it looks like a never ending ocean wave when he drives.
