The rims turned out looking very good even if I am not a fan of black ones. Just be sure to keep your tires well polished. They look so dirty now near the black of your rims.

 

lol why didnt u mask the tires... oh well.. i painted mine about 2 months ago, they still look good, as long as your prep them right and use the proper paint they will look good for a decent amount of time

 

Im considering doing this with my Red Touring FD3. What kind of paint/finish do you suggest when doing this. Thanks

 

Lookin' Good! I've never seen you around Vacaville Before... I'm always up in the Vacaville/Fairfield area with my friends workin' on cars... Nice FD, it's lookin good so keep it clean....

rx007- Do you remember what brand/color of paint you used??? That looks awesome. I wanna do mine that color.

 

^^that CYM is like....woah^^^

 

this is a great little very easy AND cheap appearance mod. its just stock wheels, and yea u can get very good results if u do it right!

anyone who likes the looks should go for it! i got all the materials and enough paint to do 2 cars for just under 20 bucks!! its easy

just do it right. clean. sand 400. sand over 800. make sure u got everywhere good! all the nooks! clean again. couple coats of paint, i used gloss black did 3 coats. clear did 3 coats. mine are super freakin shiny!

one tip. my car has stone chips everywhere. front wheels too. that sucks for paint. reason being the wheel coating in chips stays and the paint doesnt stick. on big chips it will look like ****!! small chips with enough coats go away.
just take your time, i never even notice how chipped they were till after i painted.

also i didnt use any special wheel coating. they didnt have black. i used engine paint, hahaha, and it worked great! i felt like a ricer but it came out good. just my .02 on this subject.

 

actualy the cym car had bbs and it is from nor cal... i dont think that its is from florida but i do know that it has lie 30k mi.

turbo tag team- i got the pain srom kreagan and followed the same process as the post above me. the brand of paint is dupli color, its a special wheel paint well atleast it says it is...
