Honest opinions about this? I used paint and did a ghetto job of a photochop using one of trbobrk's pics and its so small so you cant see the imperfections so well.

and i figured the lip these rims kinda have that the red arrow is pointing too would be pretty easy to paint red


what do you guys think?

bump :teeth:

 

[driftdizzle]

looks like it can be clean. i would try it.

 

[magic_silver_box]

eh i think it would be tacky on stock wheels, especially since they are not an aggressive fitment at all

 

[keyozoxmfc]

yeah i like the idea but i agree that it might not be "aggressive" enough

lots of guys in ATL are doing this cept they are not painting the red on. they are using a vinyl pinstripe in red and painting the whole wheel black. i was thinking of doing this to my wheels as well. the pinstripe i imagine is easier to keep red and whatnot. with paint just a little black on there and a lil chip and it ruins the whole look. on the other hand i had to get right up on the pinstripe to see the overlap. just my 2 cents from what i have seen.

i would give it a shot and post it to see how it looks and if it dont look right you can try again... could work though im thinking of lipping my feathers

Fix the wheels with JB weld before you paint em.

fasho the only reason im debating what color to pain them

 

[trbobrk]

I'd do it.

 

[keyozoxmfc]

haha i think i will try it when i do eventually get around to fixing the curb rash. do you guys go any tips that might help? i dont need to bake the wheels do i?

 

[RunninPlaya]

i say do it and 'fix' it if you don't like it...

and unk dave, i like the write-up on the jb weld. i'll have to do that to mine here soon so i can paint them black.

 

[keyozoxmfc]

yeahh if its not a sticky..something must be wrong with the world

 

[keyozoxmfc]

on a KR4 Silver G20, would the rims look better with a gunmetal finish and a Red lip?
