Just painted my sport wheels!!
I may be the first on the forum. I know others have painted their 5-spoke limited's but i didnt have that option and didnt want to buy new rims.
So my weekend project:
-Paint brother's wheels
-Decided to paint my wheels too
-crank coilovers a couple more turns
-add 1/4" wheel spacers in front from wheelers
-add poly swaybar bushings
-paint frame
here it is:

And you didn't post steps on how to get a nice finish? Pfft!!
Looks good, but, seeing you and your brother rolling down the street together would make me freak out a little.

Looks good,
What paint did u use?
Did you pull them off, sand them, then paint them?
Did you leave the tires on?

thanks osker, the wheels really do look nice. i used the duplicolor products last time and was VERY disappointed, i'll have to give rustoleum a try. by next spring i'll have to ask you how the paint has held up, although you don't have to endure the harsh cold temps and salty roads like we do in iowa, that was when the duplicolor failed immediately for me. the local powdercoater wants an arm and a leg for each wheel so that's out of the question i'll get back to you about the durability of the rustoleum and see what you think of it in a few months.
