Teaser of my OEM painted wheels

Just got done doing the back two wheels due to time and Dremel battery constraints. Will finish it up Thursday afternoon/night and post pics Friday when I get everything mounted. I followed the DIY thread in the 3G forums. They are black if you can't tell.

LOL, I did put something over the tires, give me a little more credit than that. Used index cards all the way around between the tire and rim. I took them all off after the last coat had been on for about 15 min. They're just sitting there drying like that.

I dunno I have the black mesh grill, dark tints, Rockblocker tail tint. Just an idea, we'll see how it works. If it doesn't not that hard to go to a different color.

I actually kinda like that look. My first car was a 93 Civic with the hubcaps beat to hell so I ripped them off and rode around on steelies. Whenever I see an Integra on the stock hubcaps, I always think why don't they just take off the hubcaps, it will look so much better. I was really getting tired of the way that the stock wheels looked, and wanted a change. We'll see how much they grow on me and if I get tired of them, spray on some paint stripper to get off the black, and paint another color.

Don't listen to these jokers. I say if you like how it looks, then who cares what anyone else thinks. You don't have to justify to people how you're going to change it if you don't like it and all that garbage...just rock the black rims...I don't think it looks that terrible. Besides, at least you have a black car.

Relax n00b, he said he was painting the front two as well..its temporary, other members on here drive around without front bumpers on lol, like Cltypeslow during his TL-lip mod, its ghetto but who cares..dont critique an artist's work until its finished haha, i'm sure it'll look good/better than stock atleast

and ure post really is hard to read btw lol
