i'm poor and don't have the money for rims and i'm trying to think of ways i can make my stock rims look nice. they are stock dx rims missing the center caps. i've thought of painting them high gloss black with a crome rim. if anyone has stock rims painted can they post pics


thankx

 

check out https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1577180 look at the last page there is some steelies black wit polished lip

 

Here are mine:



They need repainting, they were painted alonng time ago and since then the silver has really faded out. Aslong as you rock silver lugnuts, I think gloss black steelies will always look nice.. even so better with the matching black and chrome center caps IMO.

Here's how they looked back in the day when the paint was still fresh on my brother's DA:

 

You can paint ur lip chrome if you want, but i wouldn't actually polish it. That's just asking for rust.

 

arite thankx i think i'll do that what kind of paint should i use?

 

Yea paint em black would be your best bet id say

Yes my buddy did this...and if you take your time they look great!


for best results (this is almost exactly what he did)
-wash the expletive out of the weels
-lightly sand the areas you are going to paint
-clean again!!!

-now polish the area you plan on polishing
-mask polished area off

-primer paint area with a high quality primer
-and a use a high quality black paint (he went with duplicolor gloss)
-build it up and lightly sand between coats

-remove masking tape
-touch up you polish job if necessary

-hit entire wheel with lots of clear
-after dries hit clear with light sanding again
-and polish polish polish entire wheel


theres a great write up on how to polish in the wheels section

 

damnnn rayzian, those look nice, for stock at least. I like those better than my si rims. I'm thinking I might go to the salvage yard soon
