finally got the rims painted
 

I took them to a local shop got them done for a 80 a wheel which wasn't all that bad. I was very happy with the outcome.

if the link doesnt work let me kno but there they are

they look good!

That looks really good man. I'm usually not a fan of painting stock rims but these actually look pretty damn good on the car. BB represent ;)

Nice job on the rims. I have a BB too and I've thought about doing this for some time.

I have a chrome fuel door and silver side vents... so I don't know exactly how black would look.

Also... I don't have strakes on my car... but I think yours are on backwards. I was looking at them thinking "those just don't look exactly right"

bling bling, i like it

+1 for painting rims, i did my as well, wel obviously not the stock ones

nice, they look good

you're right - the strakes are on backwards. i wonder if deedub will add a line to his sig saying "just say no to backward strakes" :lol:

Not powdercoated? Cost that much and they did not paint the inside of the wheel?

Oh snap, those strakes are on backwards. DOH!

Looks pretty good to me. If the insides of the wheels were REALLY clean or polished it would look even better.

no they were powdercoated and everything. I didn't want them to paint the inside of the wheel. Thought it would look better without it painted. Makes the rim itself stand out a lot more.

Looks pretty sick man.

You mean Clear Coated??

Looks good - can't go wrong w/ black on black.

Would look so much better if you were to paint the whole barrel,,,
congrats though,,,

yeah you needed to paint in deeper. BTW your strakes are on backwards.

yeaa i never noticed that until you guys all pointed that out. i have no idea why it is like that but thank you for all your input.

looks good need some clear corners or tint stockers

yea those are my next two things im doing...once i get back from school prolly in the the summer it will be taken in for back window tint and for the taillights and ill be ordering clear corners

Come on now! You were going for unigueness with the fender strakes backwards, weren't you??

Good job on the rims! Did you really mean "powdercoated" or "clearcoat"?

there is clear powdercoat, btw.

those look really nice!

i got my rims powdercoated for 50 bucks each looks pretty nice in person

Get them rusty rotors painted!
