Painting my wheels
Friday, August 12, 2005 2:59 AM
I'm gonna be painting a set of wheels I bought for almost nothing.
Nothin' fancy but I only paid $40 for the set. I'm going to use auto paint and clear coat to gloss them so they look new. What color do you guys think I should go with.



This is what they look like:


This is what they could look like:

[size=18]1)


[size=18]2)


Which one of those do you guys think would look best? If any of you creative types have any other good ideas feel free to photoshop the top pic and post it here. I'm open for suggestions. Doesn't have to be yellow and black. I'm leaning more towards the one with more black on it with the inlets painted yellow.

Neither is my style but #1 is better than #2.

Painting the recessed areas Silver and re-polish the tops would look the best

I'm looking into painting my 2001 2.4l 's rims as well but I want to go with a Flat black instead.... they are the z24 model 16's becuase I like the style, just not the color...any tips?

Personally I would stay with the stock hub caps.

i think the stock caps look better. you could just get some new basic rims and powdercoat them like i did. theses ones were free and hoping to get them redone in the next couple weeks to match the car.
