New year, Used rims...

I bought these rims from bforbrian a month ago. I still need to buy two more tires (with two kids I gotta budget myself.) I wanted to have them powdercoated a metallic color but it's gonna cost me 570 beans to have that done. So I am going to keep it the same color and fix the curb marks with the products in the picture. I also mounted one of the wheels on my car to see what it would look like. Well enough blabbering and take a look.

Update on my used wheels

I wanted to get my wheels powdered coated but I try to live on a budget so instead I sanded them myself and sprayed painted them. I only have one wheel done right now and will have the rest done my the end of the day. I still have to buy one more tire and then all wheels will be mounted on the car. I guess you can say this is a teaser. I had to change the game a little RonJon Here's the pictures of what I have done for now.

I hope it turns out well.
they are nice rims to run.
fixing and painting them yourself can be a bear, it's pretty hard.

Those did come out well. Assuming you used plenty of coats of color, you should be fine in terms of chipping... I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

19 is diameter
8.5 is width

do you know the offsets?
it's printed on a sticker or was stamped on the inside of the rim.
+42mm or +55mm or something like that.

It looks significantly better with the paint change.

Even though your front lip flows better with those wheels, you should get the OEM lip kit, and it would make your car look 10x better.

Looks good though.
