would these look good on my max painted flat black??
or any suggestions i might buy em and theyre 100 bucks
or should i just leave em

 

IMO no amount of paint would make those things look good.

 

lol really?

 

Just to flashy for me. If you like them, that's all that matters really. It would take a fair amount of prep work to get them things ready for paint. Prepping is the key to the best finish. Good amount of sanding and cleaning required.

 

oh i really dont see these too flashy especially in flat black or something

 

I wouldn't do flat black. I would do a semi type gloss. It would be difficult to clean for sure if you just did flat black.

Look around your area and see if you could get them powder coated black. It would be alot better then any paint.

 

leave them unless you really like that rim design. I see that design all the time, I just don't like it. But thats me...

 

how much does powdercoating cost usualls cuz i just want the spokes or whatever painted and like polished lip since i got chrome trim

 

Around $50+ a wheel. Polished lip too? That's gonna take some work. Might want to find something that you don't gotta work on.

 

oh really so im probably not gonna buy them then..

 

Well, if you maybe get em resurfaced and painted i think they would look pretty good. for a hundred bucks, theyre worth the tires on the rims, as long as theyre in good shape

 

i dont kno if i would be gettin tires on it tho

 

so no? i was just thinking of sanding them down and painting with spray can lol but didnt kno it would take a while to do that

 

if you are a DIY guy and have time and patience then do it, because they are gonna be a PITA to refinish them by yourself.

 

Hell for $100 buy them, and pay a pro to powder coat them.

 

Agreed man.

 

u should powder coat the rims u have now black

 

^^ them axis is tuff as hell!!! best rims for a maxima!!! i also support maxima. ORG

 

they're not bad but the tires look like they're pretty worn i would talk to the guy down to 75

 

$75 for 5 rims+tires= $15 each. I doubt the guy will take anything less then $100.

 

hell for only 100 bucks......its worth a shot, DO IT ON AN EXPERIMENTAL BASIS....

 

The style is okay, but they do look rough. How does a set of wheels get to that point? Were they chrome at one time? With the price of the wheels and the cost of powdercoating, you could buy much nicer. I like hi-tek22's idea though. If you don't like the outcome, you could always unload them.

 

Exactly. If you don't like them you can always sell them for way more then what you bought them for after the powdercoating.

 

Man, what happened to those rims? Looks like they were in a fire.

 

Those rims are beat IMO, but for $100 do it if you like em.

 

but i also need to change my crankshaft position sensor

i dont kno if this is what they looked like or if this is one of the ones he painted???
