okay I have rims but am going to be moving back to the mainland......and that means snow.........so I talked to my dealer and he hooked me up with some stock steelies to use as snow wheels when I get back to the mainland (I had left mine at the rims shop about a year ago)...I don't have the hubs or anything but wanted to see and or hear from peeps that have dressed up there steelies...painted the steelies? painted the hubs? got different hubs...etc......thoughts? pitfalls?


hub cap recomendations? anyone have stock scion hubs that want to get rid of?

search like bling ring, or somthing like that. you can paint them powder coat them, but i like the trim rings with center caps the best, just search it.

that's kinda what I was thinking................maybe powder coat the rims black and have the rings and center caps painted to match the car,camo metallic................ I'm very anti-chrome...............I've found the outer rings but am having trouble finding the center caps...............my old high school car, a 71 Chevy Nova, (sniff...miss that one!)I had that type of set up..................although that was the norm and was easy to find the chevy center caps..

maybe my age is showing but what is bling ring? not finding anything about rims

thanks for the link...some good ideas..like this look:



'cept I think I would do it a bit different and have the center caps and ring green and the rim black...with black lugs.......or I'll just go wihtthis look...loooks pretty good.......although that chrome might bug me to much

Saw a nice one last night at a small meet. Red rims on a black box.....a nice touch for a very modest price!!

Post pics if you do it. Especially if it's a Cameo Metallic box.

I've been thinking of putting my steelies back on for some time.
A dark red with chrome rings, black lugs & center caps is my latest thought.

won't be for awhile, I shouldn't be leaving Hawaii till early fall of '07.....so this won't be an issue till I'm back oin the mainland and diggin out my fleece outta the storage boxes ...unless I find a good price here......ah, hell....looks like another project for me to do before I leave

ratrod baby!!!

aireck

put them on already Sid!!

Sid_xBicious

will do next week.

OldYeller

Your wheels are all awesome Sid!! You change them more than I change my shoes.........

Sid_xBicious

lol!!! its the same wheel, less the caps and red paint. I don't know, when I went to the real smoothie wheels, I cannot put the white walls coz the tires are stretch. but its only been 2 weeks and I am really missing the white walls. I am also a cheap person, I want my old tires to go baldy til unusable, so I need to use it.
