hello

i have this ACT wheels,black interior with polished lip ( not looking very good now ) and i was thinking to repaint them.

maybe gold int with polished lip,
or black int with polished lip,
maybe green,or black int,black lip too...

i'm out of ideas,please give a hint

 

Black w/Red lip!!!!!

 

red lip you meen the hole lip or just the 1inch exterior one ?

 

The whole lip.

 

Would look like the sportmax wheels with the whole red lip. Looks good. Heres an example for ya

 

That would look sick IMO!

 

I would polish them. Million times more pimp.

 

polished looks better in my opinion too,but that flashy polished aluminium look sits there just a few days,until you wash the car again....

do you know some special polish or any method to keep them 'bling' for at least few weeks ?

 

Ive seen the process to polish something and looks like a lotta work. Especially for something thats been done.... a lot. Id go painted lip w/ the color of your choice. Something that stands out and is DIFFERENT

Are you serious? Polished mesh is WAY less common than a colored lip. Especially after the Volk Time Attacks came out. I think my grandma has black wheels with a red lip.

Yes, polishing is a bit of work, but is the OP looking for ease or improving the overall appearance of his car?

If you wax them, the wax will help retain the shine since it builds a layer between the surface of the wheel and the elements.

 

I thought you were refering to black w/ polished lip . Not the whole wheel, that would actually look pretty slick lol

 

Yeah, lol. The whole wheel. I am gonna do this when I get my hands on a nice set. hehe.

 

True polished would be pretty damn sick!

Off topic, kinda just answering the question about polishing....
My Hx's are polished and they stay blingin for about a month. I just use Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish and polish them once them go over them again, it's lots of work but worth it to me.

 

Yeah,polished lip sounds better for me too.
But there is another problem,the lips of the all 4 wheels are scratched ( from the ex-owner ) and i do not know how to remove or improve that...

I would try to sandpaper them a lot,but there are some big screws in them.... any ideas for this ?
