Painted my Rims

damn thats a good idea. dident even think about that. i was trying to do it all by hand. i was being a little rushed by the rain tho so i got sloppy. your look awesome tho!!
 


I wanna do this to mine, but they have some pittin on the lip and face in some areas. I dont know how it happened (bought like that) would i have to grind it out and fill somhow before sanding?
what grit did you prep with before sanding?
 
i wouldnt worry about the pits. i started with 400 grit, then did a coat, then 600 grit. another few coats, then clear coated it. its really not hard, just make sure to have everything tapped off and cleaned up. you'll do fine
 
thanks!

everytime i come online i ended up finding a new project lol,

and my fiance says im obsessive complusive - ya right!:th_eyesrolling: LOL
 


everyone has black rims, personally i like the idea of having something different - the badge placement is a personal choice odd one but still, unique

I like, why are the wheels directed different directions from side to side?

Because that's the way they were made, there's nothing he can do about it. To get them all the same direction they would have had to make a different pair for each side.

You car looks great mwalk. Mine is the same minus mods.
 
I don't understand why manufacturers don't have two different sets of wheels when they do this style rim. I mean, I know it would cost more because of the uniqueness but if your gonna have an angled rim, it's gonna look stupid IMO spinning the other way beacuse it's backwards..

Nothing agaisnt Mwalk, just wondering lol

you cant swap the wheels from side to side then. how are you supposed to do tire rotations?

The same thing applies when you have directional tires. What gets even better is when you have different tires on the front than the back and they're all directional.
