Anyone tried this before?

[IdlePear]

I searched around and couldn't find anything, so i photoshopped it myself. I saw someone did this with the torque stars recently so that inspired me to try it on these. Messed around with a couple colors:

Black:


Gold:


Gunmetal:


Im kinda torn because I really like the gold, but I would most likely do this in plasti dip, at least for right now, and from what ive seen the gold and gunmetal plasti dip look kinda lame..even with the glossifier..

I was never a fan of 16 inch rims being 2 different colors/finishes. 16's are small and look even smaller like that.
With that being said. Id paint them all gunmetal!

[Neil98gt]

All gunmetal or buy new wheels.

[camopaint0707]

nice

I like the first ones. And hey if you dont like it, you can just peel it off.

[dsmuts]

All bronze

[Kendra]

I'd go for the first one.

[Bio248]

i've seen it done a few times and it never turns out how you'd want it to. just doesn't look right on those small of wheels and absolutely zero lip.

Ive Plasti-Dipped mine,just like the first pic.The guys above are correct,,,I just dont think it looks right.But,,,they'll work until I get my directionals powdercoated.

Bronze would look killer on on a gold GP. The black looks like **** cause they always make the wheels lose depth.

[IdlePear]

Hmmm..maybe ill just do the whole rim gold then...eventually lol. How many cans should I expect?

[xxpappas13xx]

just my .02 I have never really liked gold rims on a car and only thought they belonged on subaru's until i saw this! I like they idea of it and if you can pull it off, go ahead 97 grand prix gt

[Doug 97 gtp]

you should definitely give it a try. and if you use plastidip and dont like it it peels off.

[IdlePear]

I just ordered some! Four cans of Vintage Gold and two cans of the gold medalizer..we'll see how this goes.

[TexasTanker19kilo20]

gold ftw!!!!

[ericspecullaas]

gold ftw!!!!

i found a big chunk of gold with your name on it

[IdlePear]

Gold on gold....literally. Im probably gonna have to refrain myself from plastidipping everything around the house.

[Doug 97 gtp]

if it turns out good im going to do my wheels black with the silver metalizer on top... fat fives for the win!!!

[IdlePear]

Welp its all done! Ive rode on it for about a week and it seems to be holding up really well. It turned out great..really glad i added the metal flake even though you cant really see it in the pictures.. but it looks great in person. At first I wasnt too sure if i liked it but it has really grown on me.







Ill post up some more pictures in my member rides thread.

I like that looks great
