I just need to know what color to paint my stock wheel/rims. I have my friend doing it for free.

Here are some ideas.

Thanks a lot guys

imo, painted stock rims are fugly. buy some nice wheels!!

 

well yeah i agree with you, but the clear on my oem rims is coming off and i need to fix them b4 they get worse.

do you think i should keep them the same color then?

 

I've been wanting to do this as well, just probably after the winter though. Black will probably look best IMO. I'm gonna go with a semi-gloss black, but my car is black You going the rattle can method, powdercoat, or spray gun?

 

do what YOU think looks good man. If done correctly. (powdercoated) they will look fine.

 

powdercoated, and I DONT HAVE TO PAY. It is nice to have a friend that owns a body shop!

 

powdercoat

 

black, cant go wrong.

 

I had a friend powdercoat mine black-ish for 100 bucks. I do plan on getting a set of rota's down the road though.

Trust me, coat em black...and wait and see how many ppl will compliment you.

 

Leave them alone.

 

+1 dont paint them please~

 

an 07-08 with the coat coming off the rims??? Sounds like its time for a warrenty call...!!!

Unless you just need a good reason to paint them..

 

Just be happy you don't have the chrome ones like I do that most people hate that I don't think are that horrific. I mean i don't think they're awsome, but they are definitely no the worst wheel out there from the factory.

DEFINITELY need some spacers tho lol

 

I think the stock wheels dont look very good when painted, but Its your car. Will you be removing all of the stock coats during prep?

 

Are the rims in the second picture chrome? I like the way those look. at least in that shade, plz let me know.

 

Me likes the flatte black

 

Flat black....

 

If done right, it can look good. I have a friend with your color Z and he did his rims with some spray can gloss black and i honestly dont like them very much. I have seen Z on the website with 07+ stock rims black and some do a rather nice job on them.

 

you know how many peeps wish they had 35th ann. wheels? just throwing it out there. sure flat black looks clean, but i think some volks would be off the chain. i trust you do the right thing

 

I'll paint them black too.
