Freshly done rims, yay or nay? Blacking out corners is next.

 

Looks clean. Anymore shots of it?

 

Damn.... Looks nice...

 

good job,,,

 

It's missing clear corners.

 

Oversized pic is oversized.

 

freaking awesome, i got to paint my rims black now too!

 

Thanks

I'm going to black out my oranges.

 

Is it just me or is everyone painting the OE wheels...

OP,

It really needs tuner lugs, black center cap, drop and clears.

 

PD i agree with everything you just said

 

Clear Corners or Blacked Out Corners...not sure which yet..
A drop would make it impossible for me to get in my driveway because i already scrape.
Does anyone know how to get the mazda symbol off the center caps so i can paint them?

 

IMO too much black is overkill. It helps to have some subtle color breaks that flow with the overall look of the car.

 

clear sidemarkers keep center cap and lugs the same and get tinted rear tailight overlays. and tint on windows. Check out how I did my car... its in SSGGBB multimedia thread posted by rawrx8

 

Looks good!

 

you need tint on the front windows bad

 

It's illegal here and i'm not allowed to drive anyone for another 6 months so the less cop attention the better.

 

what about tinting your rear window?

 

Doing that soon. Havn't been in the mood for smashing myself against the cramped back area.

 

very hot but please paint the center caps for some reason everyone forgets to.

+1 on smoking the fronts too.

 

what method u paint them with?

 

the way i did mine was i took off the wheel and pushed the center cap through then pried off the emblems. its pretty easy and fast and should only take like 10-15 minutes. be really careful when you pry though try to pull straight out or else one or more pins will break off. i broke about two pins in the recent process of painting mine i had to super glue the emblem back onto the center cap. other than that i think i did a fantastic job lol

 

by the way looks very sexy! i think either or with the clear or blacked out corners would look really nice, anything but orange!

 

yeah the mazda symbol has some tabs that go through that you can just pop through. paint'em and the pop the symbol back in.

Thanks! I tried prying them earlier and got scared that i was going to break it.
