So yesterday me and my friends decided it would be cool to black out my rims to go with the rest of the car, it took a while, but it was worth it.
so heres stock..


all jacked up


sanded, primed, and painted



on the car


final

better pic of grill



I haven't taken any really good photos yet, but they are really nice..

Need a bigger photo for a good look and opinion!

Slepybear

resizing it doesnt really work, because they are cell pics..

Duriisimo

I think it looks pretty nice!!!! I thought about painting my 03 Type S wheels!

Cant really judge, the pic res is too small.

Slepybear

thanks, and i will get better pics up later..

srtorelli

I dunno. Not really feeling it. Maybe if there was a chrome lip it would look a little better!

Slepybear

i give up, photobucket wont let me resize.

K-Ride

IMO, need to lower it now.... I like it overall.

Looks good. I think your tails would look cleaner if you cut out the top portion of the tint though. Overall not bad for a cheap mod. Anyone ever do this to 02-03 rims btw?

mm if anything, now you definitely need tire dressing

Nice job, came out a lot better than mine. What kind of paint did you use?

Slepybear

i actually saw yours 2 days ago, and decided i wanted it, and went with it.
But my friends owns a shop, so we used his paint, and it looks great, but because im using a cell camera, you cant see how shiny they are..

\and i have tire dressing, i haven't had a chance to put it on yet, i need to wash the car first.

Shoulda painted your grille while you were in there

BLaCk Acc

I think it would look good if it was dropped.

Slepybear

i want to drop it, I just don't have the money yet.

I'm jealous Slepy you gotta get out to one of our little get togethers so I can inspect them in person.

Slepybear

i should be free this weekend, and if we do a meet we could also install my new headers, pulleys, and CAI..

Only thing that sucks...when you get a new tires you'll probably have to repaint those wheels again.

1. they might scratch the paint.
2. that balancing weight on the wheel is gonna throw it off cause it's not painted black underneath.

Otherwise, it looks good.

Slepybear

we put on like 2 layers of clear coat, and we painted the rims and weights separately, and nothing has got scratched thus far

When they balance it will mess them up. They have to move that little weight that's on the outside of the wheel and it will not be painted underneath where the weight was when you painted.

Slepybear

we removed the weights, and painted both.

It looks good for a set of winter wheels...

Blazing GT

^
lmao

Slepybear

that was the original plan, but i don't have money for a new set of rims and wheels..

Toon_703

looks pretty damn good. i aslo think you should have painted your grill back where the mesh is.

Slepybear

everyone is telling me that, and i will probably end up doing next weekend,..

jtucker

Hey toon 703, can you post some pics of your car? I think we might have the same rims and I am thinking about lowering my car and it might give me a great idea of how it looks.

Hey jtucker, you need to familiarize yourself with the search function. The questions I answered for you earlier could have been found with a quick search too.


Just do a search for threads started by him (his exact screen name) and you'll find threads in the Photo Gallery

jtucker

Yeah I figured that out. I appreciate the help but there were no pics with the black rims....
