  • I painted my rims

    well idk what rims they were but they were on it when i bought the car i think they were an older style t/a but the paint was worn and they had some curb rash so i thought they couldnt get any worse...

    any opinions on them?



    ^ still had some tire shine crap on them

      I think the car needs a polish job then the wheels might stand out more. Not too bad for painted wheels. Are they 15's?

        i think they are the older t/a wheels..

        but they wouldnt look to bad if you took the 'camaro' off the center and wet sanded them alot


        Your car needs some TLC.. wash that damn thing!

        Looks kinda beat up

              I think they look pretty good. I'm trying to talk myself into painting my 5 spokes black and then polish the lip.

                  yes, they are old trans am wheels.

                    Re: I painted my rims

                    i like how they look and im glad you left the outside lip silver and the "camaro" in the middle adds a nice touch. Kinda reminds me of how my car looked

                        I like the rims better then they were u did a good job and take CAMARO off them and please wash your car it has feelings too

                        and meatyshells you ruined your rims u could have atleast left a silver lip but over all i still liked them better in chrome. Black rims can look good on a car depending but the rest of the time they remind me of wheels with out hubcaps on

                              You know what they arnt the best looking rims stock but you did a hell of a job making them look the best that they can. I think they look just fine until June comes around.
