when you guys paint stock rims, do you guys paint the inside and the underside of the rim? is it worth it or should i just do the top? im going for white btw. lmk. thanks.

Whenever i see painted stockies they just mask off the tire and paint the top? If i'm understanding your question correctly...

 

yuh..im thinkin whole thing now though.

 

are you talking about the inside of the rim? When i painted mine black i did the inside to or it would look mad weird black on the outside grey on the inside.....

 

yeah i am talkin bout the inside of the rim lol. sorry buot the first post, it was bad description of what i wanted to say. i guess ill paint the whole thing white.

 

ya paint the whole thing, but maybe do it black cuz that ish is going to get dirty and is going to be hard to clean......

 

Unless you plan on keeping the stockies (put some spacers on them if so) just paint the outside face of the wheel. After about a month the inside is going to get black with brake dust anyway and you won't be able to tell it was ever painted - and you can't exactly get in there to clean it.

I have seen white painted stockies that were fully painted and it looked good, but they would need weekly upkeep.

 

I painted mine inside and out, and mine are mostly black. A friend of mine had white rims and he hated them.

Don't get me wrong, they looked great when they were clean, but it was a pain the rear for my friend.

 

i think ima keep the stocks for awhile. not makin enough money to get the kind of rims i want so i aint gon waste it on rotas or anything XD. so when painting them, did you guys strip the paint by sanding or paint stripper liquid?

 

damn..white rims are a hassle to keep up with..i suggest a color? (not black)

 

wat happens exactly when the white rims get dirty? does it stick to the paint or does it come off when you clean it? i dont mind cleaning it when i clean my car every 2 weeks or so.

 

Do something off the wall... not many people do it so chances are you'll be the only one in your area.

Someones already got a SW tc with bright green, seen neon orange, do a bright purple or yellow.

 

well whenever your ready buy my wheels... i assure you they're not rota's or anything like that... someone already bought them... oh well they're still local maybe you can save up and buy them later...

i say dont do white... do bright orange and the inside of the wheels black. or something that pop's out!

well thats my .02 cents...

 

damn you guys post fast... i basically repeated what was already said, on SW bright purple would look SICK!

 

haha. im not into purple. and i seen ur rims fs on h-i. love them, but not enough in my pocket :D. them lime green rims are pretty sick..

 

do them bright yellow. it'll match your bright fogs... i saw you driving the other day. car needs to be brightened up lol

 

haha u seen my driving? ____, i never thought i'd see someone off SL in the streets. sure its me? xD (bellaire area)

 

hm..limegreen with black inside like sciontistical_one?

 

well it was a boring SW lowered on stockies with bright atp fogs and 6000k hid's on mason rd next to a Hollywood video i think... man i have the best memory...sometimes
