Default Gun Metal Millenias . . .

Millenia wheels with plasti-kote "Cast" spray paint. I like the stock wheels but this is so much easier to hide brake dust with.

lighter is one thing.

I like the stock gun metal wheels but these cost 1/2 the price and are no big deal when they get scratched.

I won't ever put a bigger wheel on my car

you're replies are always classic. You really make me laugh at times.

IMO lighter and cheaper wheels is good, who cares what it looks like?

Looks good Trey! Did you have to do anything special to prep them before painting? I've been thinking about doing mine in black but now I like the gunmetal.

I spray them with "aircraft remover" (Can be had in the auto dept at Walmart). Then rinse off and make sure the surface is clean and smooth.

Unlimited, if you find a good bronze (NOT GOLD) let me know we looked for some and didn't find any. You should see a photshop of 929's painted bronze on a black R!

Nice nice nice!!!! This will push my plan from spring to next weekend to paint mine.

Mine should look exactly like yours except with the hub caps. Did you paint your caps too?

What paint are those? Dupli Graphite?

I have never painted my wheels with tires on them (Except for small touch ups). It is much easir than trying to cover the tires. I am not sure what aircraft remover would do to tires.
