Paint my wheels or no?

Re: Paint my wheels or no?

first photoshop looks okay... but to be honest, the best appearance mod you can do for your car is wheels... by far... definitely look into getting some new wheels.

I say dont do it. Save up for new guys. It doesnt look clean w/ painted stocks.

i like the second chop better.. Looks better than stock and can hold you over until you've got the money for some new wheels. Loser was the one that painted his wheels like that. he's had them both ways now, so you an search and check them out if you want.

Sell the ones you have and put the money toward the new ones. ;) If that's not possible, do the last photochop with the silver lip. That looks good. But really, they should be done right by a paint shop. Otherwise that paint is just going to chip right off.

Exactly, My black wheels are chipping right now and I regret doing it...Though I might go to a shop and let them re-do it for me, Do what Shirl said or dont do it at all.

i personally dont like it. the rims themselves blow, and theres not much to do about it.

i have a set of chrome ones that i took off... 2 brand new tires and 2 that are fine. i should have space in my truck to bring them back up to ohio next week (im going home for the weekend) we could work out a deal if you wanted.

the chrome doesnt look bad imo. go on ls1tech and find some cheap SS rims, thats what i did and i love it.
heres a crappy picture of my "new" rims...



and heres one of the old chrome stockers.

i actually like the look of those particular wheels painted. paint only the spokes like you first 'chopped. sand and paint a couple of coats of gloss black. throw some clear on top of that for a mean shine and wetsand and polish.

if you add clear coners i think everything the way it is would look better (in referrance to the wheels)

haha... i had clear corners? I didnt like them. I dont want my car to stand out. I want it to look really nice, but not flashy. I dont want any chrome. Thats why i did the whistler mod and the black turn signals and i love them.

Re: Paint my wheels or no?

Hey, if Steve's willing to work a deal with you on the chrome ones, TAKE THEM!! The stock chrome snowflakes are pretty damn nice. I had a set on my convertible and really didn't want to sell them but they weren't "perfect" and I'm pretty anal when it comes to that, so I sold em' to a member on here and switched to 18's. But you should consider those!
