hmmmm im thinkin about painting my stock rims maybe gold or bronze cause i know i wont have money to buy a set of rims for a while



but what you think. anybody else feel like painting there rims??

 

Ive never liked painted stock wheels. I would just save up for a nice set.

 

yes lots of people have painted stockers.

I have mine black and red in my sig pic

here are some arisenfury used to have ( bronze )




i have also seen someone paint their stockers like a goldish brown, black ( no lip ) and white. I don't feel like going through the search feature to find all of those tho.

 

two better pics of mine.

 

yea looks pretty good what kind of paint did you use

 

I intended on using just using wheel paint from autozone but they didn't have any in glossy black so i ended up using glossy black engine enamel paint from autozone also wheel clearcoat.

 

yea thats exactly what i was thinkin about doing, my friend painted his SI stock wheels they look really good...

so imm goo bronze or gold, with a red H center cap, might look sexy

 

do it!!!!!

 

Fitcapo, I've seen your sig many times, and never realized those were stock. They look HOT!!!! +reps


I would probably paint them also (whenever my car gets here). To me they dont even look like stocks, unless you look closely. Of course the H shows but thats what I like about it!!!


Some one posted that they were thinking of powder coating theirs.

 

Fitcapo:
How did you do the red lip? Vinyl striping or paint? Any suggestions? I have black stock rims but they just look too bland so I want to add some color.

 

the lip is just a vinyl pin stripping i got from auto zone i believe it is1/8th in. we painted the wheels with the engine enamel then let it dry put the pin stripping on and clear coated over everything. i would suggest this way. i think it will turn out cleaner you just have to spend some time and make sure when you lay it down your line doesn't get wobbly.

thanks fitstir

 

yep i am gonna do it probably friday or saturday night i'll post pics when im done



=]

 

Not a fan of painted stock wheels.

 

If you have a TW Fit id go black and lower the Fit, it will look really nice.

 

you already posted that exact same thing in another thread lol

dude i'm thinking about going gold/bronze/or black on my OEMs

i've seen SD_MR_Fits' Gold DC2 Meshies they look so sick

 

Do it!! (and then post pics!)
Im thinking about bronze on mine next summer. Money is kinda tight right now.

 

yes i have TW but everyone that i know has black thats why i wanna do gold/bronze, and im might be gettin the tanabe df210 springs for it tomorrow

 

I say drop first, then save up for some bronze/gold wheels.

 

soooo yea i painted them on thanksgiving they look pretty nice , came out pretty clean i'll try to post pics later on this week...my camera broke =[

 

Congratulations.

Now you can have fun spending $2k on a set of new rims
