Great Winter wheels screaming "Paint Me!"

I have 4 wrx wheels for sale, half-painted (need to be finished).

I sprayed the backsides white (not rattle can) but never had time to do the face. I will sell them cheap with caps and lugs for $150 or best reasonable offer. (price reduced)

These are a clean, straight set!

Thats a pretty good price... considering that you can actually just spray paint them gold, and they look really good (suprisingly). And if you can't sell them here, which you will be able to... our wheels fit some toyotas (like the corolla), so you can try them too.

You can spray paint them (not really spray paint, but its close). You do like 3 coats and then a clear coat on top of it.

A few of my friends have done their wheels, but in gold, and it looks really good.

I intended to spray them to match my car-

I used single-stage urethane auto paint (super durable) but I never had a chance to finish them.

I've reduced the price to $150 firm if anyone is interested.

Please explain? Is there a website somewhere with a tutorial? Meaning, can I go to Kragan and get the parts for this? I might want to just white out my stockers instead of getting rota attacks

I have the paint if you have a compressor and spray gun, otherwise you can pickup "wheel paint" in a can at Kragens and other places. You don't want to use the paint I have unless you have the proper equiptment (laquer thinner, compressor, spray gun, respirator, etc....etc....)

Oh ok. So there IS a spray paint version that i can just apply to the wheel, and "clear coat" it? Is the kind I use for the body paint?

Hey Helladumb,

still for sale?
Do you still have the tires on them or do you just have the plain wheels? If so how much tread?

How about you complete the job, and I'll buy 'em off you

Thanks,
Ambert
