Your opinion on rims...

Post by **StrangeLove** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 2:51 pm

I was thinking about new rims, but then I realize I have very little money. So, I had an idea, why not paint the rims I have now...

I was thinking of getting them powder coated completely black. What do you think of that? Here is a picture of the rims I have now:

well since you said that you are short on cash..why don't you just paint them? I personally dont like black rims..they look empty unless there is a chrome lip. I like gunmetal better. offtheline painted his and I think it looks really slick. Here's the link

My car is the same color as this:

I love the way the wheels look, and it seems like a powder coat would leave a matte surface, which is what I want...

Im not a fan of those wheels... but anything you could do would prolly make them look better

black stockers look better than silver stockers...

I have seen those S14 base wheels w/ the center cap removed and painted gloss black. Looked HOT!!

hmm in that case i might just have to do it.

Hmmmm I think I will paint them black... Gloss or Matte finishCenter Cap or No Center Cap

Post by **BoyWonder** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 2:51 pm

I'd go for no center cap. Maybe leave that center area unpainted, and the rest black. I'm pretty sure I saw that once and it looked good. I have trouble remembering yesterday though, so take what I say lightly

newer mustang GT rims (17"x8") aren't that bad looking--if you have 5-lugs. i got my set for $75 shipped.

the 94-98 cobra rims are nice, but they will be more expensive

Where'd you get them? Can I get some for that price? All 4 rims for $75??

Post by **StrangeLove** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 2:51 pm

I have 4 lugs

Anyone know of any stock alloys that are 4 lug? I don't of any...
