Few weeks back, when I realized I needed 3 new tires, I set out on a hunt for some used ones, b/c I was (and still am) highly POOR.
Someone replied to a post of mine, offering these tires/wheels for $150:

I bought them, for the tires, and figured I'd resell the wheels for $25 each or so for the fbody guys to use for drag radials, etc. I went and had them unmounted the friday before last, and when the man gave me the bare rim, I realize the center section (hidden from view by the tire) was chrome, as well as the lip where the balancing weight HAD been. All of the sudden, I had this strange idea. I came home, and with some carb cleaner and steel wool, began taking the black paint off. SOME GOOF had PAINTED perfect chrome rims!
Now this led me to post them on ebay, b/c I KNEW I could get much more than $25 each for them now!
I'll let this url finish the story....

Needless to say, Im happy, especially considering my initial cash outlay.
