Just worked on my stock rims which I use in the winter.

 

after sanding the rim.

 

The rim being taped up.

 

primer added to get rid of small scratches

 

Now the paintjob

 

Tape removed and ready for clear varnish (don't know if its the right english word for it )

 

Finally done.

 

clear coat

looks very good but any pics on ur car?

 

Yep got one right here.. I just mounted stock tires(Winter) 225/60-16 Conti. To bad it isn't a bigger rim..

 

not bad for winter.....

 

I always wondered what these would look like black, as I've thought about doing it to mine. Mine are not in the best of shape and it'd be a cheap "mod" until I save up for new wheels (Megan Racing coilovers coming first).

Question: Did you pop the "L" out of the wheel centers, or did you tape around them? And if you took them off, how did you break them off the glue in the back?

 

when i painted my center caps, i popped the L off.just get a screwdriver and pick it off then ram it through the hole and its good.

 

Pretty cool mod to the oems.

 

Nice dude. Looks good.


Great painting!

 

Thanks guys
