So i decided i wanted to paint my wheels and this is the result.. im also thinking about getting some blue or red lug nuts.. yay or nay ?

 

Dope.

I'm looking to get mine painted flat black. Any tips?

 

just sand down enough to scuff the wheel alot of people like to sand to the bare metal but i think thats over kill and do alot of thin coats in the groves of the spokes..

 

you need to paint and put your center caps back in.

 

i should have got that color. GGM is played

 

Wheels look pretty good. They look nice with the Ralleye Red.

Do you dry your car with sandpaper when you wash it?

I hardly ever see an GGM's mostly fiji's taffetas and NHB but anyways the wheels look sick

 

i have to agree with everyone those wheels make me want to pay you to paint mine....

also on the lugs i would go the red full covered acorn lugs.. not spline lugs

 

wow i agree with everyone it looks sexy great job!

 

Looks pretty dope with RR.

 

You are the 2nd person who has painted their rims that I approve of. That looks really good.

I generally have high standards.

im sure he's glad he has your approval

 

everybody its ok. the wheels are now legit

 

I didn't mean it like that...

Painted rims just isn't my thing. So for someone who doesn't like painted rims to say, "I like those," it takes a lot.

Red or flat black lugs would look best! I almost got the RR but i saw 2 pulled over the week i ordered my TW... also, what drop are you on.... it looks perfect with the front a bit lower....

I agree with everyone also! Looking good!!!! Rims Look Sexy

 

Aftermarket lugs on stock wheels is a no-no. The seats are different, your wheels will fall of for sure.

There are some, but they are all ugly. You could spend hella money and buy factory NSX lugs that are black.

 

i have the work lugs on my factory wheels. why is that a no-no??

it's not....the seats are exactly the same compared to any other wheel out there.

how do people come up with this stuff?

 

because thats untrue...there are conical lug seats and acorn shaped lug seats. stock wheels have the acorn while tuner wheels use either a 60 or 45 degree conical lug seat.

i've used aftermarket lugs on stocks wheels. they never came off.


EDIT: maybe i did jump the gun and didn't know there was a difference. but again....i've used aftermarket lugs on stock wheels.
