I was woundering what color should I paint my old rims, and should I live the center cap off them.





The part where the center cap is dirty I need to clean it up alittle. If I ever put them back on they are going to go on my car, which is in the first picture. I was thinking black, what do you guys think ?

black would be best. Would look more "natural" than any other color.

 

What kind of rims are those?

 

They are a cheap brand named prime, I think pep boys carries that name brand. Why do you ask ?

 

Anyone else ? If I paint them black should I got with flat black or gloss black ?

flat, and keep the centercap off
Edit- Krylon Ultra flat black, or BBQ paint

I think you should burn those....

 

those flat black = spoon sw388

 

Thanks guys

 

5 stars

 

So are these bad then ?

 

The black 5 stars(rotas/spoon, whatever) are ugly, the r wheels are average.

 

I would go with a semi-gloss. Flat black, from my experience, does not stick as well, and its hard to clean. Gloss is just too shiny.
