new wheels w/ options
 
2 Attachment(s)
I just did a little wheeling and dealing and picked up these wheels for almost nothing. They are not in the best shape but they are strait and have not been curbed. Most of the damage is just in the clear coat. I have the skills to repair these rims i just don't know what i want to do to these. I am thinking of painting them the same color as my car and polish the lip. Do any of y'all think this would look good or have any other Ideas. I'm open to anything!!!

dwfronk 11-26-2011 11:11 AM

X2 on the plasti dip :)

Plasti dip would be my choice.

I have thought about that and I would be able to change colors easily if I wanted. So what color y'all think if I were to do something like that????

Wait wouldn't the plasti dip be a pain in the ass to remove from the rivets??

02ws.sik 11-26-2011 03:24 PM

Yes so put something over them when plati dip

The fake rivets are going to be hard to paint around, plus fake rivets don't look good IMO. I don't think its worth the time, I'd sell them.

I was thinking the same thing about the rivets.

But if you keep them, then I say black them out. I have a polished lip on my wheels and really like them, but I've always wanted to go all black.

Nice buy!

Yea i have to agree i am not a fan of the fake rivets neither, and they are not the wheels i was wanting but for the deal i got on them i'm willing to fix them up and run them.

and just checking but cant the fake rivets be removed?
