painted oem wheels

[b-ron]

i just put them on today! what do you guys thinks?

i havent decided weather to paint the center caps bronze as well or black or leave them the stock color. and yes i will be changing the fuel door lol

love the color combo - i want to paint my winter rims bronze for a different look. what paint did you use?

 

[b-ron]

thanks!!! i used RUST-OLEUM metallic metal finish

 

[CWPspeed3]

color combo looks sweet, do you have any close up pictures?

 

[b-ron]

kinda lol

Nice, I was just wondering what the texture looked like, I was thinking about painting mine too, that looks awesome for rust oleum, did you leave the tire on while painting or prep it in anyway other than washing it?

 

[b-ron]

i scuffed it with a green pad then spray 2 coats of primer than 3 coats of bronze.
yes i left the tire on you can rub off the paint with a bbq brush lol thats what i did.

the paint feels a lil rough but not bad, but its even i think its just the flack that makes it feel that way

I'm thinking about painting mine baby poop brown. I wanna be original

 

[b-ron]

lol ok let me know how that turns out

 

[Jasnall]

wow...I really really like it.
I'm torn on the center caps though, part of me says leave em, the silver help tie in the other silver/chrome on the car.

love them. are they really that dark or does it just look that way cuz those pics are taken in shadows? i've seen some brighter ones than yours

im real partial to the bronze on a black car....i always liked the way the STI's looked in them.

Jasnall: me to im still not sure wat im going to do

oaklandopen: here are some pics in the sun but the seting is off on the camera.
the sti is what made me want to go bronze hehe

 

[MS3077]

b-ron, now all you need to do is paint your calipers neon orange and you'll be in business! Also, for the love of GOD and Jimmy dean sausages don't forget to make that silver gas cap thingy disappear!
