UPDATE! just alittle paint!
rims were looking bad, and were corroding alittle! (from old wheel weights) SO, i painted and cleared them!
car was dirty, ran out of time!
i also painted the calipers! i went from silver rims to graphite! and rusty calipers to silver! i'm pleased so far!

Looks a lot better. Your paint looks really fresh too. Nice car.

LOoks good.. i will be doing something similar to mine after winter.

Looks way better than painting them black, wonder what torque stars would look like painted like that.

^thanks! black wasn't an option for color! lol

black should never touch stock wheels, good choice. gotta represent the green GPs in miltown now that mine is gone.

black stockers look like snow rims lol

I really like that, the silver calipers are a nice contrast.

I like the job you did, it suits the car well. It would have been cool to see the before pics.
Even though I just upgraded my brakes, I ran out of day light and didn’t get to painting my calibers.
I have a kit for red just waiting for me, got any tips for me?

how do you get the corroding crap off the rim without damaging them?

gotta love the GP's wheel gap..lol...nice job though!!! Looks good with the green

^it does have 50 series tires on it! so that makes it worse! i will be changing that soon with some 55 series!
the corroding part, i just sanded the area good. until it looked better, and cleaned the **** out of them!
as far as a tip, i sanded the rust off, cleaned them like 3 times with alcohol, and just paint brushed the paint on! i did use that hammered paint that is out now. no primer needed!

Some thing like this to give you an Idea on the torque stars, I painted them graphite metallic. Did them for the winter. Oh and nice car and wheels man, came out nice.

^thanks! i'm like in love w/ the graphite color on wheels now! in the shade, it looks black, in the sun, it looks dark gray!
now i kinda want torque stars! lol.
