your uncles rims are way better there Pregen's if you dont get them im gonna try to and use them as my winter wheels or paint them white and use these as my winter rims lol
and its plasti-dip they make it in different colors including white they sell it at home depot but only in black i think
you would have to order colors off line i may be wrong not sure but we defiantly need to steel them rims off your uncles car that hes never gonna fix lol

Great write up and pictures. I know it's been a while, but did you make this all up in a Word document and then just paste it into the thread?
I am planning on submitting a "How To" on painting the entire rims with the tires on and using rattle cans only (a true DIY for the man who has nothing). I'm currently doing the Factory Stock Alloy Rims for my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT and taking pictures as I go (should take me about a month-no rush as winter rims currently being well used up here in Canada). Finally I noticed that you taped off the lug nut seats (good idea). I would assume you would need to do the same on the lug nut races on the inner rims? Any tips on the submission would be appreciated.

Thanks man, sorry for the late reply but I just typed this all up on the forum, I didn't use word or anything else. As for your question about the lug nut races Im not really sure what your referring too. Are you talking about painting the back of the rims as well? Because if so it would be a good idea to tape out the back of the rim where the rim seats on the rotor, if thats what your asking.
