Check these rims out (Now on with pics pg2)

Post by Looong4 »

So I have a set of wheels from me and my fiance's old GP.

Wondering what you guys think I should do with the color.

They are pretty chipped up and clearcoat is peeling so I am going to repaint them..

Should I go same color? White? dark gunmetal?

What do you guys think of the look?

Crappy chop done in paint..

Just some "wheel paint" I got from the local auto supply.

From the coat I already did it looks great. So far I've invested $11, lol & I got the wheels for $200 3-4 years ago.
