when you get a wheel balancing those weights are going to reveal a little surprise

 

i don't get it

and y do u just have the skirts and the rear valences just stuffed in your trunk it looks like the skirts are bent

 

What he means is when i get the wheels rebalanced and they take off the weights, itll show the wheels original color in that small portion.
The guy who sold me the skirts shipped them to me bent in a box. It still turned out ok but not perfect since theyre semi flexible.

 

When he gets his wheels balanced, they take the Weights off Leaving the original(Well, Stripped now) color of the wheel.

He's just showing the Skirts. They probably aren't in his trunk anymore. About them being bent, They come from Stillen that way. You have to wait for them to straighten out. At least thats the way I understand it.

 

holy ****** **** please drop that thing!
lol
looks good other than that.

 

bronze pwnes

 

Looks good, but like gtr_rider said... until the next time you get them balanced.

 

where'd you get the spray paints? what grit(s) sand paper did you use?

 

wow those look awesome, can you post a simple step by step for how you painted your wheels. mainly i want to know what you did for prep (sanding? paint stripper?), and where you got that paint from. also, did you have the tires dismounted when you painted them? i want to paint my wheels that same color, but of course i want it to last and not come off the first time i clean my wheels

 

I want to paint certain portions of my 2K SE Rims.. How did you paint yours? wha sand paper..procedures etc... Im not planning on painting the whole rim, just certain portions like i seen from one the max's around.

 

Do you have any more pics, maybe during the day. I can't really see how they flow with the car that well.

1st coat and 5th coat pics. We used Dupli color graphite wheel paint.

Nice job, wish I had the patience.

 

I have till I go home to do all of my mods. I think this might be my next one. I hate not having a garage at school. The painted rims should go well with the rest of my car.

 

Are you going to do them black or graphite?

Looks good white97gxe!

 

what color?

 

some kid with a toyota corolla that goes here (usc) painted his hubcaps blue......

 

nice job.....cheaper than buying rims!

 

Haha thanks for the compliments. These wheels are only temporary though, theyll have to last me until i can get a nice set of 17inch gun metal rims.

 

wow

 

Probably Graphite. I was thinking black at first, but I have no idea what that would look like. Does anyone have this?

 

yeah i was thinking the same thing

 

thank you very much, i will be doing mine next weekend per your description

 

a few have done both of those colors. you should be able to find some pix.

 

I've seen a couple with graphite but, never any with black. I guess I'll search.

 

IMO, I think graphite would look best. Black rims might be too much with an all black car, but that all depends on your taste.

 

I've searched for pics of black stock rims but can't find any. Anyone have any pics? If I did paint them black I would leave the lip polished.

 

/sarcasm

 

I've decided on Black today. Now I just need a good weekend when I can go home and do it. I'll keep you guys updated.
