What do you guys think for my rims?

 

[CTt3P5]

I vote yes. Are you painting the stockers with this and which color combo? This gives me another option for when I repaint my winter steelies this summer.

 

[Jordysoso]

Yeah the stockers, and either the gold to magenta or purple one. We have it where I work so I was gonna pic it up. Not sure which will look good. My whole car is blacked out so idk if I want dark or the gold one for contrast

 

[HKPRO5]

all i can say is take your time when you do this and follow the instructions well.
Voted yes

 

[Jordysoso]

Always man, keep the opinions comin along with color ideas for the blacked out p5

 

[Jackie chan]

I say go for it!, It might look really cool. Hopefully it wont look too ricey

 

[Jordysoso]

i dont ***** with that ricey s*** if you know what im sayin lol

 

[jbrewer4639]

subbin for how it turns out. yes

 

[hat1018]

It will be unique for sure. Do it, and post some pics!

 

[JiggaBro]

im not a super huge fan of it... but still voted yes because i like seeing people try new things

Do gold. I've always had a weak spot for rims like that could be my inner rice but either way it's your car and what you think will look good. You could plastidip them then paint it so you can peel it off if you don't like it

I say go with it bc I will be repainting my winters with it....but imma use gold color scheme

 

[Jordysoso]

Ok so I'm gonna do this probably next weekend. Now the question is the color. Gold or the bluish purple? Contrast or continue the black out theme?

 

[tweety2300]

Gold!

 

[Jordysoso]

Looked at some swatches, gold/magenta is mostly pinkish. The gold doesn't stand out. Silver/green looks more gold but I feel will look like someone with radioactive piss, pissed on my rims. Either red/blue or purple/green is what it's down to.

 

[hat1018]

I think I would go with the purple/green. Or you could do purple/green on drivers side and red/blue on passengers side.

 

[pkane]

I wouldn't, but it's your car. I would be interested to see how it looks.

 

[Jordysoso]

Still deliberating on a color. Hopefully I'll know by monday

 

[Jordysoso]

Gonna go with the purple/green. Red and blue was wayyy too loud for me. Ordering it tomorrow. Anybody who has painted rims b4, should I get the tires removed and do it that way and get them remounted and balanced? Or should I leave the tires on, take the weights off, paint, then get them rebalanced? I only wanna do the front and back of the rim and only want the car to be down for no more than a day. But I still want the best results.

Leave the tires on. Chances are the paint will get effed up (no matter what you do) when a tire shop mounts/dismounts tires. I have seen people use masking tape to cover the tire, also I have seen people use playing cars jammed between the tire and wheel. You could also put hand cleaner or dish soap on the tire then spray the wheels wait for it to dry and just rinse it off. I used the last technique once with decent results.
