so i got used stockies for $50.00 prelude wheels just like go90go and undro.
but theres a problem, wheels are all scratch up blah blah..i need your advise.

im goin to paint strip the crap out of it sand it and everything and primer.

now the color. i was thinking of gold cuz i have a white car. what choices of color you think black? silver? remember im getting dupicolor i think thas it.


ps..these wheels are extremely light!

if you plan on getting aftermarket wheels in the future, don't even bother wasting your time on them, thats just my opinion though.

BUT if you just have to tinker with them, keep it silver.

KrayzieDxC

thinking the same , silver..

aftermarkets wheel i already bought them for a nicest price..just siting in my room waiting for summer

ps.. if it wasnt scratch up soo bad i polish it!

air craft paint stripper then sand it down from low grit to high grit sand paper, then finish it up with some aluminum polish.

Go90go

^ Yeah. Or just paint it silver again.

~Cheers~

P.S. Or be gangster and rock them scratched like me. The bad one's in the front which are always spinning anyhow, so nobody can tell, , haha.

i hate winter...its freaking ice raining here..i have time to primer the wheels and paint them before i put the tires on..my tires are almost bald scared to drive it..

desired_speeds

it was never painted silver in the first place, its polished aluminum w/ clearcoat.

KrayzieDxC

^ yup

Go90go

I meant make it back to being silver. I know these rims aren't painted. I'm not an idiot.

~Cheers~

KrayzieDxC

well wheels are finish painting! silver i just dont have center cap imma have to use the acura center cap.. i'll post pictures later..and might have to let dry for a couple days..

Go90go

^ Off of what car? Our stock centres sure as hell don't fit, haha!

~Cheers~

P.S. I don't even have a fender liner to paint, .

KrayzieDxC

^ damn then that suxs..o well i'll ride it w/ out them goin to have to find a set

Go90go

Our stock centres are big and 5 spoked. Lude centres, like most wheels, are small and round. If you could get a set off GSR blades, they'd fit. I'm sure they're floating around for about $20.

~Cheers~

^you probaly misunderstood me,were you talking about the stock stock wheels?? cuz i was talking about my type-s wheels ..but i think my type-s center cap will work. im just too lazy to take it out..i only had one honda center cap that came with the wheels and i put it against the acura cap looks like it will fit..

yea they floating around about 30 n up.. never below

KrayzieDxC

well the wheels are mounted. one wheels is bent,so its in the rear..but whats the possibilty of on bent wheel??

VQPower37

looks good ... could never tell they were all scratched up like u described in your original post

KrayzieDxC

^Thanks

and before pictures

Go90go

Yeah, I meant the stock TL blades. Anyhow, they look good, a tad duller than mine for some reason, and your fronts are on backwards, haha. My bent one is in front.

~Cheers~

undyroos

nice choice! makes me want to put my old rims back on...and what's with everyone bending 16in rims? i thought a 50 sidewall for the prelude would provide enough protection...

Go90go

Well, how do you bend the front left one, and curb it to shit? That's how mine is, haha. I have a 55 sidewall on mine, tyres were free so who cares, haha.

~Cheers~

KrayzieDxC

i didnt even knowdest that, haha i'll do that later

k9500winmag
