Well two of them are. Here is the "before" picture:



And after prepping and painting:



I am in the process of doing a write-up. So if you are itchin' to have black wheels, stand by, it will be submitted to Corey shortly.

 

I love the black rims. Your rims ROCK!

 

Did you use your 90 mph fastball arm to paint them?

They look good but now you can't change your mind again!

 

I was thinking about doing this to my spare since all my others are tech1s. Cant wait for the writeup. Goodjob.

 

Looks good, Christian.

Looking forward to the write-up.

looks photo-shoped













j/k looks good

 

OEM but not! looks good. did you just spray paint them?

 

Sahweet!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. The key when doing this is prep. I did just use spray paint, but I must say the spray paint I chose is awesome. It was sanding, wiping, priming, painting and top coating. VHT Satin Black Polyurethane Wheel Paint - this stuff rocks! I have never used a spray paint that when on so smooth and looked so perfect when finished. The clear enamel detracted from the perfect finish, but clear enamel is a good layer to have for car washes and road grime, so I had to use it.

Thanks again. I will try and bust out the write-up as fast as I can.

Time to go hit the other two wheels now!

 

Lookin good!

 

Not bad looking but I'm kinda split,for stock rims they are nice and it's kinda of a shame since the black doesn't show them off. I think white would be interesting.

 

White huh? Interesting, sounds like something a DSM guy would say! j/k

Well, when the write-up is finished, the person attempting the mod can insert whatever color they want during the paint step.

I cant wait to see who tries Type R yellow...

 

White?! Might as well put a TypeR sticker on too!

 

Nice job. A good write up will be appreciated. I've been thinking about painting my center caps.

What other types of wheels can you do this on? I'm thinking my Centerline Hellcats would look sweet if they were glossy black.

Shoot, why stop there. I'd paint my nerf bars, the grille guard, the bumpers... everything!

Is the paint pretty durable?

 

That's really nice work, Christian
It does look a lot like the photoshop images the other guys posted. I think I like these better than the other ones

 

haha so youve only got two black wheels on your runner right now. That must look kinda funny. But hey, you do what ya gota do.

 

Only time will tell my friend. It better be durable at $8/can. And its polyurethane based, which means it will resist chips and off-road abuse.

The good news is that a large nick can be repaired by sanding and repainting the area with this stuff. I will keep you all posted.

 

yeah I'm just waiting for you to go off roading with these and see how the paint holds up. If it does good then I'm going to do this to my stock rims, I think those will look really nice. I have the five point star rims on mine.

 

oooooh, u can help me with mine when I come back!!!
