Who's as ricer as me when it comes to painting your stock wheels? I originally removed the wheels, sanded them lightly and then painted them black with Duplicolor wheel paint. Now all I do is touch them up.
I leave the wheel on the car.....put a few rags between the wheel and brake caliper/drum and over the disk...and then paint away.....I'll post pics later, but they always turn out pretty decent and the touch up for all four wheels took less than 1/2 hour....

Ok.....so lets hear it....Who else has done this or something similar...I personally like my 15's and plus I don't have the money for 17's right now.

 

ive done it to my stock wheels in the past

 

there was a post (i couldn't care to search right now) of someon who power coated their OZ rims white... so yea others have done it...

 

^ that would be me. Here ya go.












Changing the color isnt ricey, however paint chips and doesnt last . . powder coat will take anything you throw at it

btw rims/tires might be for sale soon if anyone is interested

 

i got dibs chaos!! ive been wanting some white ozs for a long time,
dont have any place to powder coat my own so.
yaee everyone ive got first dibs on walking choas's rims if he decides to sell them lol.
they look pimppp!

 

I voted that i did and proud. I don't think it is ricey. My wheels are my last resort until I can find some new rims since my 18s are jacked up right now. I'm gonna attempt to paint them black with a silver lip. Just so I can kinda see what it will really look like when I get a new set of rims. I prolly wont do it until after I get my car fixed and repainted though, but I think that will work alright!

 

nice work on those rims

 

i think it is ricey when your paint chips off etc.

thats why you powdercoat.

 

if i was to start talking about rice you'de go off on how ricey it is what isnt rice to you?

 

I painted my rims semi gloss black around three months ago and i dont have any chips.... ony a nick from a fricken shopping cart. I think it depends on what color yours is and also what kinda look your going for. wheres those pics by the way?

 

SEXY!!!! You should have another poll option titled . . . .Its a great DIY Mod and i think its awesome!

 

Painting yuor rims is probably the best money saver instead of buying a new set if you want a diffrent look then normal

 

show pics people. i want to see how it looks. I want to do it black. But im scared of chipping.

ya if you were to sell those white rims i would buy them quick.

does anyone know where to get centerpiece on the rim. The black OZ rally circle thing. Mine are chipping and I want new ones if its possible.

 

ebay, i saw some the other day in fact.

 

im thinking bout sprayin mine bronze or gold with a metal/silver lip
