Post by **NoStickers** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

I like it the way it is

Post by **-HyJynX-** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

leave it

Post by **Axel Grungy** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

i like them better gunmetal. but if you want them to look nice for awhile i would get them powdercoated.

im confused on which one to vote for, but i say paint them black.

He's already got the color picked out, its a yes or no thing-either paint them or not.

Pills, imo they look weird black. Leave them.

Leave 'em alone, they look fine for what they are.

They look good the way they are. So, my vote is "no hyperblack".

i painted my wheels just over a year ago with 3 coats of primer and 3 coats of hi temp paint from kragen. only got 2 little spots where it got chipped. other than that they're beautiful. so, don't worry about if the paint's gonna hold up or not, cuz mine's doing good

no fair, the top one is lowered. I say get new rims or paint black imo

Post by **rico05** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Paint em and remove the center caps. I think that looks good.

Post by **StrangeLove** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Nice pictures!

I think it looks really good... I think I may go ahead and paint them after seeing what it would actually look like

Post by **bobotech** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Black with caps looks like dirty (tons of brakedust) wheels. Black without caps and the shiny lugs makes it look cool/tough in a good way.

I was going to say Leave em, but with that bottom pic, i think they look good black with no caps.

I keep meaning to go get the set off the S14 at our local junkyard after I saw those pics.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Definatly black with no caps.

Post by **StrangeLove** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Ok, I'm going to paint my wheels today. What type of paint should I use? Any other information would be great, thanks.

Post by **StrangeLove** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Painted my wheels... heres the result!

Post by **rico05** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Very nice!

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

You need to buy some tuner lug nuts now.

Post by **StrangeLove** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Yes I do, Also, notice my missing lug nut on my left front tire... stud is striped of treading

Overall, I am happy with the way it turned out. If you get really close you can see all my mistakes... oh well

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

Yeah I was wondering if you were actually missing the lug or not. I would replace the stud and get a good set of chrome tuner lug nuts. Konig, enkei, gorilla there all pretty nice and not too expensive.

Sweet! Looks good. I'm annoyed my car is white, painting my stock rims the same dark shade would look retarded i think.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

What you talkin' bout woman. Black wheels on a white car looks nice. Well I think they do. I am sure someone would photoshop it for you if you don't have ye olden photoshop.

Post by **skydragoness** » Sat Mar 27, 2004 5:08 am

i keep meaning to get a copy of photoshop i always thought a real dark dark bronze would look good though. :evilhaha
