Got some ideals of how I want to do this, but all the pics
I've searched are good enough for me to like them, but
not good enough for me to do them. I just want to see them up close.

Seems like the ones who spend 15 to 24 hundrend dollars
on shoes seem to post better pixelated pictures of their
rims ................SO

DIY'ers post your better pics of clearcoated and sanded down stock rims for me!

Searched and found these


Before
After
Want to do something different, this is someone elses
different, not my different, but different, so post up close

 

OH.......And get to bidding on my for sale item, so that I can afford the can of clear coat paint, right now the price is like enough for 3 cans of paing and maybe some sandpaper.....

If it gets over a 1k I wont have to do this DYI................ but I want to. Highly doubt it anywayz.

Want to see if its really looks good or not....... so UP Close of um plz!

 

 

Is this what you're looking for? They are OEM 15's from an xB. I painted them graphite Duplicolor w/ Duplicolor Clear.

 

Thank................now look, there is this seem on edges that are off to the lip of it I guess.........I want to know which part to tape off so it looks best?... this is what I mean.

What's the best part to tape off???

OR


cause I'm going for this look



So people that have done their RIMS like this....please post an UP CLOSE Pic!!!

 

I think that BSP looks wierd. PrettyniceB how do thing chrome wheels on a tC would look?

 

^^^^Yeah the BSP does.........but .......R U saying I also need to buy a can of Chrome spray paint and some gunmetal/engine black paint and do this?

Which one/parts would look good painted another color?

 

I like making the tC wheels like the benz would look hawt. Make the the spokes glossy black and make the lip chrome. oh and remove the Scion cap on the wheels before you paint and leave it the color is is.

 

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Just wanted to see some up close pics before I try,. I think the lug nuts should be painted black too though. I'm looking for right ups on it now..............................

But any pics appreciatedFinished Close UP 1's

 

u probally dont wanna paint ur lugnuts... either get them anodized or buy some black ones.

 

Why not...............paint the lugnuts.....................you just sit them aside and spray paint em right? Probably more than ususal coats since is such a small piece...........But why not?

 

dont paint your lugnuts or centercap and definately take the wheels off first. lugnuts for one reason... if you ever to change a spare, that paint and lasting one twist of the iron, and not to mention, the second you put those back on, your screwed.... whether its with a torque wrench or not.

just my opinion. i am going to be painting mine soon as i get another wheel/tire because my hectic work schedule, they will be done one by one. with the "spare" on. plus i kind of curb checked one wheel on a snowy day. so as soon i start that, will post up pics, close up.

 

Lugnuts and the pressure turning them


now that " Just buy black ones" comment makes a world of sense.


But if I have a spare on, I wont really care about the color matching,
more like worrying about the gansta lean and three-wheel motion that's going on
