Hey guys

as the title says its time to repaint the stock rims for DD and my auto x set. Currently the DD rims are blacked out as shown here.

AND my auto x rims are just the stock grey color.


Now I was thinking about going goldies or just repainting them black.

Also what color should I do the auto x rims in? any color suggestions is great!

Thanks guys

ALSO!!

forgot to mention that I've gotten koni yellows and swift springs since this pic so the wheel gap is much better now! :) I just don't have any current pics!!

im always a fan of black on black.

I put "other." I'd like to see a dark bronze. (thinking RE30) I hope to do that with my silver RS. :P

have any pics of what your talking about?

Hmmm, I share Tsunamisephi's opinion. I think a dark bronze would look great on a black car.
Something like this:

I have no idea if this thread is still valid, since it's so old, lol
But there's my two cents either way =)

WHA? What's wrong with the off-road rally look???

j/k, anyways, I voted Gold, since I really like Gold rims. But they do have a point, Matt Bronze does look pretty good too on Black car...added bonus of the color looking like brake dust too!

Not a great pic of what they look like on my car....I like the red because you can tell that I'm not running stealies....Gives the wheel a little better definition between rim and tire. Just my .02...

Not my car but this is sexy too.....

Do you need a type of paint to paint the rims or any type of spraypaint is fine?

I would use the Duplicolor line of spray paints. They actually have a line of rim/wheel spray paint that's supposed to work pretty well. I used the clear coat when I painted my stockers, and they seem like they held up pretty well. You can also go and get them powder coated, but I think that costs a bit more than the DIY way. :)

Drop it man.... lowering springs/ coil overs
