Gold stockies on SW?

Painted these awhile back, was skeptical if it would hold up or not but they are as good as the day they were painted. Yay or nay?

DIY, but u gotta do it right, sanding/prepping, primer, paint, tons of clear. Its been a month and they still holding up fine. I also laid white in between some coats of gold to make it lighter.

Wow. Looks really good!

I always liked the style of the stock rims. They're some of the nicest available stock rims out right now... On reasonably priced cars, that is.

That looks real good, makes me think maybe I should keep mine and hit them up with a different finish.

I know how to do all the paint work (used to do car interiors) ... but do you know how to fill/refinish rash on the rim face?

Really, filler primer bonds to the alloy like that? the rash on mine isnt bad at all, but i definately need to fill it with something ...

hard to tell with the lighting but it does look good. I would pick up some spacers though, give it a better stance with the stockers

Yeah, def can fix curbage. I sanded the rim, filled it with bondo, and then sanded the bondo to be flush with the rest of the lip. Worked very well. BTW thanks for the comments guys!
