gloss black with a red lip? I just bought a new set of stock wheels and I'm trying to get a good picture of what they'd look like. I'm going for the Volk time attack look. Thanks to anyone who has pics.

 

I was going to do that with my wheels but i had alot of people tell me that the paint would come off fast if i did it myself. But the gloss black with a red lip sure does sound nice.

 

I'm definitely gonna go the powdercoat route since I can get it done for $100 for all four. Just wanna see what it looks like regardless. Paint shop anyone?

 

Powdercoated gold. i bought them like this, so I really can't tell you too much about color/who did it/etc.

 

to me they seem alittle bit gold/bronze lookin, Ive had mine painted for pictures here:

mine are Subaru gold And Ive had them well over a Year or more by now, and no chips,

PS: dang you Hat_Trick_Hokie!!! I was the only tC with my stockies painted in gold!! why!!! oh well at least I had em done first!!! aniways like the gold on white looks clean !!

 

Gosh, I wish that price was available up here. It's $200 plus stripping.

I think I'm going to paint with DupliColor Wheel Black - no lip.

 

mine are high temp gloss black, havnt cleaned them in 3 months and they still look good

 

Post pics!!!

 

i dont have any close ups but here you go

 

nice combination but cant really see the color of the rims/car of yours!

 

the pics on my profile show a day shot but still ot a good look at the rims

 

i tried looking in the search button..but i was wondering how you guys would paint your own stock wheels? like what steps are involved

 

sand them down, paint them, and dont forget to tape off your tires

 

yeah, tried to but cant seem to see them well, aniways, Ive got just one suggestion... need a drop!

 

aprings are sittin in front of me, getting installed saturday

 

Or if your like me, that loves being a perfectionist! take the tires out, Then Sand Them, then paint them and then put the tires back on

 

ok i found a pic, really dirty but here they are

 

are those your stockies? dont look like them?

 

do i need to put some type of special coating or something so it wont peel off or crack?

 

... by paint them I mean, primer them, then paint desired color, then if you want a glossy paint job clearcoat them, If you dont want a glossy finish dont clearcoat them=matte finish, flat colors. Primer them first dont forget that!!!!
