for the stockers... that finish was cool back in the mid-late 90's.

[1coolride]

i'm still on stock suspension for now, soon to be full coilovers. i was thinkin about getting some springs since they're cheap but i wanna do it right the 1st time instead of taking the springs out.

it was kinda easy.. time consuming and lots of patience plus a pack of beer.. i wet sand the wheels to have a rough surface.. i did 2 coats of primer.. 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of gloss..

[fits_all]

thanks! i did all the painting in my garage, if its a nice day with no kind of wind you can do it outside, i kept my tires on i use playing cards and stuck between the tires and rims instead of taping it down, everything was like $25-30

[MemphisFit]

did this take long? a day or two? how long drying btwn coats? im guessing you took all 4 at once?
im very intrested in doing this

[Gotenkz00]

this looks good on BOM. For some reason IMO its hard to make BOM flow nice with certain colors. Nice work man. I will rep you when you drop

Deal or no Deal?!

i called my local WheelWorkz to see how much it would cost to get OEM rims painted black ................. 125$ a wheel
