im respraying my wheels this weekend and ive gotten bored with the black on the stock wheels since everyone and their moms have black wheels. i have an rs4 and ive made the color scheme the galactic gray mica, black, and all my stickers are white. i wanted to do like an off white cream color but i wanna get some other opinions

 

Did you ever pick a color to paint the rims?

 

Yeah I painted them white. It came out pretty nice!

 

I'm painting my wheels black soon. I have a flint mica tC and want to make the car relatively dark so i smoked the tails and I'm going to do the rims. Any advice for a first timer? I bought VHT primer, black and clear coat.

 

Search, this has been discussed plenty.

BUT, make sure prep work (masking, sanding and cleaning) isn't rushed/shabby otherwise you will not see good results

 

Thanks I looked around and figured out what I have to do. I'll post pics when I'm done.

 

Cool, upload some pics of the end result

 

Will do. I'm planning on doing them this friday. Its been pretty rainy so I'm waiting for the weather to clear.

I kind of want to do some kind of pin stripes to break up the black but I don't know what color I would do it. I've seen black with red pin stripes and that usually looks good and would go well with my calipers and soon-to-be TRD springs but idk. I'll probably just go with all black.

 

Hey Colinantherus, do you have pics of your white rims?

 

generally, stockies look better with one single color/finish but I've seen a couple of nice exceptions. I'd say your flint mica would look dope with gunmetal or black unless you wanna go with some crazy flamboyant color, to each his own haha
