first off could someone photo shop my rims plz? lol

neways my front rims have curb rash so i need to fix them, i was thinking during that time should i paint them a different color aswell? what you think?
gunmetal, bronze or stock?

 

 

gunmetal..

 

here you go.... im liking the bronze, something different.

 

black.........

 

I said gunmetal

 

I repainted my rims gunmetal and it perfectly matches my grey lustre...

Cardomain.

I have the center caps done now, I just have to update the pics...

 

Bijan you were the one who gave me the idea, this is the reason i have this thread lol. i guess the car would look more agreesive in black


o btw thanks MILLY for painting them for me, could you do it black plz?

 

gunmetal goes very nice with your black leather

 

hey guys what about a darker bronze? flood99 im feelin the gunmetal asweel

 

yo you guys think you could get a darker bronze chop

 

h/o i'll do it.

 

this is as black as I could get it to in Photoshop.

 

I kinda like the black-ish look now, too. I still like gunmetal, too, though...so I say gunmetal or black

 

dam my man milly slammed that shiet, it looks sick. i guess black, because the gunmetal looks like break dust.

the only thing is im afraid of messing up the rim when i paint it. i know that the oem paint is the best. o well

 

hehe

if anyone wants their babies chopped... color change, rims, tints, drop, what ever.... give me a high quality imagine and some time and i'll chop it for you guys.

 

I definatly think that darker bronze looks better.

 

i dont know, i dont think the dark bronze flows as well

 

black

u gonna do em yourself?

 

yea get some airplane stripper, bondo the curb rash, then sand it down and put some primer on the curbrash. sand down the primer and spray a few coats. let it dry for one day and get some clear coat

 

yo upstate max did you sand your rims bro?

 

i know HOW to do it, i was just asking if u were

 

is that right? or am i missing some steps?

 

if ure using stripper on the rim (the entire rim) i would primer the entire rim, not just the bondo'd curbrash


edit: some people suggest baking the rims so the paint cures better

if u do this, make sure the tires come off

 

gunmetal... bronze looks good on those ultra-blue type cars like an r32 or sti... but that's just me...

 

yea i guess your right, its kinda like having a red car with red rims i guess.

 

Another vote for gunmetal! It contrasts nicely with the beige.

 

yeah I did, I used a 400 grit first, 600 final; then primed, painted and cleared.

 

dam sounds like too much work. lol jk.

i dont know i was looking at the car today and it would look real sporty if i do the rims gunmetal. that means imma need an exhaust smoke the tails etc. i like the alloy look because its simple and clean looking. its not too much i think it looks elegant and proper. the reason i wanted those rims is because my car is a light color so i figured light colored rims would look nice and flow lovely with it if you know what i mean.

i mean the rims are boring now but i dont know ....if i do paint it, it would look more agressive and wannabe racer. lol help me out guys

 

i'll put it liek this, 1fstmax ahd the best rim color combo i ever seen for a beige maxima.. I think he had bronze.

 

yes those rims he had were sick
