New rims...FINALLY done

[clos561]

Well about a week ago i bought some fd rims and mounted them on my ms3, they were painted bad and i took my time and repainted them, did a wet sand to remove the old paint, sprayed some clear remover to rid the clear coat, sprayed primer, sanded the primer and sprayed glossy black on all 4 rims...this is the result. im hapy with it since i only spent 339 shipped on the rims and about 40 on the paint and things i n eeded to do the job...check it out, let me know what u think.....after i get some springs... it will look alot better

Not bad. All you need to do is lower her and it'll be good.

 

[jalaan1]

don't like those rims on the ms3 myself, but the paint job itself
looks pretty god.
good job.

 

[D_Roc7822]

yeah getting it lower will make a world of difference. Very nice paint job on the rims though.

 

[autoxes]

looks pretty damn awesome.

 

[jbiird317]

lower that thing and put some tire shine on and it will look 10 times better. Im not usually a fan of small wheel setup, but this looks pretty good, nice work.

heres a pretty bad photo chop but gives u an overall image

 

[clos561]

nice, thanks...yea tire shine would help...those things are so dirty. Is there a tire shine that doesnt fling up all over the car when u drive?

yeah man the spray on stuff works, i have some from armor all i think. you just have to make sure its all the way dry before you take off

i feel bad callin you out on that tho, i just looked at my nice black wheels and they are so dirty theyre looking like flat black lol

 

[clos561]

its all good. i know there are dirty as hell too, im gona wash the car in a few days and pick up some wheel shine

Where is the window tint?!?! Good paint job on those wheels man. (rei)

 

[clos561]

i dont want tint, believe it or not... i like the clear look on this car, i had tint on my cadillac and other mazda...

 

[Pondo]

the stock rims look better than those

 

[shane02pro5]

Looks good! Slammed and tire shine will do wonders! I just think it's funny how a few years back everyone wanted to squeeze 18" & 19's on everthing and now it's back to old school 15's & 16's spraypainted!

My next wheel will be some 17x8.5-9" with some widebody action with as wide of a hunk of rubber I can get in there. Red mesh with polished lip.

for some reason ive always liked smaller rim with fat tire...it always seems like the car is really fast when i see small rims with fat tires... some times i do it in video games like nfs and forza...some cars can pull it off and i think this car does

 

[MTV]

Don't like it. Do you actually prefer those over the stockers????

 

[TreFlip999]

It might be computer here at work ut your car almost looks like spicey MSP orange lol...Maybe if the rims were a little bigger, i dunno, is your ride de-badged?

 

[kudakev615]

i say leave the 15-16's to dumped on the ground hondas. those guys can pull that look off but im not feelin in on the speed3. unless you dump the hell outta it and camber in the wheels i dont think itll look good. just my two pennies. but since your feelin it then big ups then

 

[Sacrilicious]

dude, now i'm thinkin really hard about gettin some FD wheels on my car...those look sweeet!


...that and i'm pissed as hell that my cheapo sport edition f7's got dented from a pothole that i've taken like 10x with my stockers without issues...laaaame...=/
