    I am an admin for a barter swap page on Facebook. Some one just posted this as a response.


    Due to spam, we only allow posters to live in Maine. What town in Maine do you reside in? (ok or yes is not an answer)
    Oklahoma

    Just a hunch, the female whom responded didnt need to live up to being a blonde

    So picked up my truck today after having the A/C repaired and while it was there had new drives put on and a 3 axle alignment done. When I showed up I see this. WTF.jpg
    Who the hell puts the inside rims on the outside? Dude laughs and said since you like cleaning your rims so much we thought you'd want to clean these too. He said they would switch them and didn't notice his kid mounted them backwards. I said it's ok looks like they needed some polishing anyway. #### OCD. But hey A/C is working great again.

    I did it when I was rearranging trailer tires and did not want to pay for extra dismounts and installs.

    Then again I had a working truck and did not care if that stuff was shiny or not.

    Never polished a rim once in 7 years. I actually wanted to sandblast them to an even dull finish.

    I don't polish them but do keep them clean. No way am I going to spend a day polishing when 2 days later they are going to be full of road grime and dirt. Although cleaning them yeah that's me.

    Pressure washed once every couple of months with the rest of the truck was good enough in my book.
