Rims Painted || 56K WARNING

I got my stock rims painted cause I'm to poor to buy real rims but I'm very happy of the outcome.













Thoughts? I'm getting my windows tinted monday so they will go with the car more.

Nice job man. I like em. It will look even better once you get the windows tinted. I have a silver RA and tinted my windows and the car looks a lot better. I also want to paint my rims black except I don't want mine to be shiny. Good job.

Nice editting on the car. I was about to do that before I came here but that looks great.

I went to a body shop to see how much it would be for them to do it and the guy told I could do it but I might have a hard time cause I couldn't take the tire off and stuff. I asked him how he would do it and they have to take off the factory paint and seal, prim it, powdercoat, then gloss paint, then clearcoat. It was 35 per wheel and took like 2 days but they were really busy.

Considering he got them painted at a shop, I'd assume its a safe bet it's gloss.

Hey I think that's a good paint job, but not my taste. What was it painted with???/ Hey once those black tints are added, I think the car will be a lot more stunning.
