Should I paint my wheels?

[MrSpace]

I think I would be the first with Carlsson 2/5 painted.

I got a flat tire 2 months ago and this spring I need to get my wheel lip fixed, so I plan on gettign all 4 refinished and maybe painting the center.

Leaving bolts silver and the lip polished.




btw I ordered spacers for the rear so it will look better

maybe someone can photoshop to see what it would look like

What size spacers are you going to run? From the looks of your pics, your wheel is pretty close to the fender already. Adding a spacer (especially a large one) will have the wheels sticking out further..possibly outside of the fender!

if they are diamond finish dont paint them

[ryhi]

paint them! it would look sick!!!! i also wanna get mine powdercoated and add some big spacers.. i want my rear wheels to stick out beyond the fender

[sugrdaddey]

i agree with ryhi, you've got to paint those wheels. it will look so sick! BTW, have any of you ever see rims in a black chrome finish? sorry if i jack the thread bro.

mr space is your back end lowered? its hella high

[MrSpace]

I want to put 15mm spacers

if too large I'll skim them or change them (I have a lathe so it's not a problem making it custom)

the rear still has space for a spacer, check out the wheels can tuck in this means they could be larger:


as for height, it is lowered. The front is on pad #1 and the rear is a little higher. On the rear it varies from flush to a little higher depending on the gaz and weight that I have in the trunck.


I might powdercoat my wheels with a clear black, this would mean it's as tinting wood, you can still see through instead of opaque black.

definitely get the spacers man! i wanna put 15-20mm spacers on mine to make my rear wheels atleast be flush with the fenders. check out my car compared to superpnoy's car... i want my wheels to come out like his.

What size be yo rims ryhi?

[MrSpace]

your tires looks way more stretched than mine

euro style. I'd like to get that look too, but I would probably need skinnier tires and I don't want to.
