Still waiting to see Honda 82s whole car with the white wheels.

 

why my pic has 1 big X on it?

 

My stocks are painted black and sitting in the basement. This winter im having some winter tires put on and then painting them bright green for kicks

 

 

MaxSoul must drop GE8 for maximum awesomeness!

 

Stock GD8 City VTEC wheels on my GD1 Jazz, restored and repainted dark silver c/o Promaster.

These wheels were stock on the pre-facelift JDM GD3 Fit VTEC.

Hello all,

New to fitfreak. Drive an '09 sport MT blue sensation pearl.
Smashed it up a bit last winter in the snow on the crap stock tires, getting winter ones this year.
Found a set of black steelies from an '09 base model for a good price from a fitfreak member in town (thanks again dude) & in great shape. Gettin me some blizzaks shipped to mount on the steelies.

I'm in St Louis, so won't actually have to use them more than 2-3mos of the year & for occasional road trips to Colorado & Chicago.

Rather than do something sensible and splurge for alloys, I'm looking to do something with these steel rims (no cover) for fun that's:
-a little bit foolish.
-maybe even somewhat goofy looking
-something no more than 5% of people would find cool.

Oddly enough, that's how people usually describe me.

Looking for ideas.
Right now I'm thinking to go thru those steps in this thread from honda-tech, see how close I can match the paint to the blue sensation pearl of the car, and leave a strip around the outer edge of the rim thats kinda chrome looking.

Thoughts? Open to suggestions...

Thanks much!

 

You should be able to find touch paint in spray cans to match. I was able to get TW here to do my winter steelies. Now if someone would just tell me how to get center caps to stay on as the neoprene lip is worn off.

 

Hi guys. Great looking wheels in this thread!

One question/concern I have: How is the paint around the edge of the rim holding up when getting tires changed? Any problems with chipping?

 

paint after new tires are put on. Or pay cash for powder coat

 

yip... anyways.. 1 spray is enough for the 4 rims...+ tell them to f**kng careful whenever ur doing rotation... , air , etc

 

I like the bronze wheels on the darker color cars. But I have to agree on the powder coating. It will last muxh better.

 

my friend is about to buy my fit rims i painted black, paint them white and put them on his 95 civic

**pics soon

 

doesnt look bad white

 

On the stock Sport Rims GE8, is it hard to get the inside of the wheel painted when doing this. It just seems with the spokes it might be hard to get the width of the wheel painted behind the spokes?
