Default removing hubs and painting stock wheels ....

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. There is only a few post's with finished product but with limited how to instruction , i assume im just going to sand the rusty surface(spotty rust) and paint 3 or 4 coats of the best black spray paint i can find untill i can afford the 17' replacments.

Youre gonna paint steelies? I really hope not, just a waste

If you do, get Duplicolor Wheel Paint, best there is

seems stupid to me to paint steelies an ugly black, they look way better in silver. Itd be easier to just buy black steelies. just get some OE honda hubcaps
