Cool Kind of new look for me.

Hey yall I just painted my stock wheels flat black and boy do I love the new look! I can't afford new wheels right now, but I wanted to be different, and I didn't want to waste money on cheap wheels with sh!tty offset. But anyways, enough talk on to a pic!!! C&C are welcome. I need to respray them probably one more coat would be good, I painted them as the sun was going down, but they still came out great!!! (Sorry for shitty quality pics, took it with my phone.)





Spotted this Silver GTR in lynnwood, at the nordy rack parking lot! I had to park next to it.

Nice. But you should either paint the center caps black too or take them out.

Painting OEMs is definitely different.

And for the record, I like the silver center caps.

Yeah I didn't paint the center caps on purpose, contrasts with the whole car well.

As for the reflectors, I'm baking my headlights either this weekend or next and smoking them out!! I just need spacers

Yup, I did paint my own wheels. I can paint your wheels for you, I don't have **** going on this summer, no job so far. haha. You might have to drive up to my friends house in Lynnwood where I painted them. I can't guarantee you the BEST work, but it'll still look good enough. I wont even charge you that much? Hell, just bring me a 6 pack of brew, and some food I'm game.



Oh, just painted my headlight housings and reflectors today! Pics coming soon!

You can do a few more subtle things for cheap like someone said above, spacers will push the wheels out and sit more flush witht he fenders... Also look into new lug nuts and the reflectors for sure. Looks good though I'd pain the center caps. Looks like you forgot to paint them on accident and you just threw them on.
