Default Painted my beat up CW wheels.....
Well, I painted my beat up CW wheels primer. Looks alot better than before. Kind of looks like an light blue/grey color. Here are some shots...

BEFORE







AFTER







Comments: Im not going to say its the most attractive thing out there but I can say its alot different. Ill have pictures of it mounted on the car soon after I get them balanced.

Did you take the tire off before you primed it? If not, how did you stop it from getting all over the tire?

if Miguel (as his old friend likes to call him) did not remove the tire.. one way you can spray it without getting it all over the tire is to stick a bunch of index cards between the rim and tire.

I dismounted the wheels first and remounted. I have a chronic problem holding the camera still.

or you could just put a ton of tire gel on the tire, any paint that gets on the tire will wipe right off with the gel.
