painting wheels

[Supersix]

I want to paint the wheels on my 98 red bird, black...any opinions or tips?

[GregWS6'01]

having black wheels just looks like a car that lost their hubcaps.......

[Firebrd9783]

yeah, or someone with four spare tires on.

maybe you can paint the rims black in the center, and leave the outer rim next to the tires silver or maybe paint the outer rim a bright color or something.

if youve seen the rims on the 35th Anniv TA it looks BAD *** , gloss black 5-spokes i think, If you paint em and make em gloss black i think it will be sweet

what is good paint? for rims?

[Firebirdking18]

I was going to do that but i got a better deal on chrome, You can get them powdercoated gloss black, i was quoted 60 bucks a rim. I made a photoshop of what it would look like and i thought it looked really good but now that i have the chrome ill never switch!

[GregWS6'01]

I think the CE WS6 would have looked better with 2001+ WS6 Rims CHROMED...now that would have been sweet!

Gloss black powdercoat with a machined lip would look sweet but not on a red car. I saw a red firebird somewhere with those rims and it looked awful. Only certain color cars can pull it off.

if its not to much trouble, and if anyone that's good at photoshop has time, can someone make a photoshop of my car with the black wheels.

Heres a link to some pics of my car :

Sup riley. Here check this pic out that I made for you so you can see more or less the black rims.

[Supersix]

sup marco. THanks for the pic man, IMO it looks sweet, but im gonna see if i can edit your pic and leave the outer lip silver and see how that looks. But thanks anyway, i appreciate it!

[marco]

Here's the one with the silver on the outside. Picture was alittle pixelated so it was kinda hard to work with. But this should give you and idea.

[Supersix]

Thanks Marco, you da man. IMO i like the first one, i think im gonna do it this weekend.

i think if you painted htem Gloss black instead of Flat black it would look even sicker
