Does anybody have pictures of their stock convertible rims painted black? I want to get mine painted black, but leave the outer ring polished.

Don't paint powder coat. Paint eventually chips, unless alot of clear is added.

I have my BBS rims painted like that, I dun have a convertible but I have those rims.....looks nice, I will try n get a pic...I did it with black spray paint that u can get at Advanced Auto Parts, hasnt chipped or anythin yet, just make sure to clean then very good before u apply the paint cause then it might chip....and tape up the lip correctly so the line at the edge doesnt look wavey.......I will try to get a pic up.....ant promise much, cause I would need to find my friend and his camera.......I dun have one myself.

OMG, that looks ******* great!. I've got an extra set of BBS's that i use for track/drift events. I may end up doing this just cause it looks that good!

good thinkin'

EDIT: + less dirt to show... Just wipe the lip of dirt and go!

i have been thinking about doing the exact same thing to my vert rims, did you use high temp paint or just normal stuff?

i forgot the name of the spray paint, but they are made specifically for wheels.

Dam, those rims look f**king bad ***. My really good friend paints cars and does body work for a living. I throw him 50 and he would paint mine bad *** like those, Im gonna keep my center caps though, get them painted the same color

Hey Reflux,

Am i reading those tire size correctly? 205-50-15's? How far off is your MPH guage while cruising? Also, those are very nice tires. Approx how much each?

Thanks for the input.

Pretty nice, even without the center caps.

Great tires - The perfect size to up the final drive ratio a bit.
Nice ride height, nice front lip. - Yummy..

Put some mothers aluminum polish to those bad boys.

LOL back from the dead but I don't like it when user specific questions go unanswered.

the picture isn't of my car so I'm not sure how mph is affected
the aspect ratio is 50 though
as for the price, check out:
www.vulcantire.com

they are the "Falken Azenis Sports"
they go for ~$75/piece I believe
maybe cheaper for 15's
