Should I paint my wheels

[jessetooslow]

I'm thinking of painting my wheels but wanted to you guys opinion first. Should I paint them at all or keep them the stock color? I was thinking of going with a Subaru Java Black Pearl, what do you think?

Personally not a fan of black wheels on a white car.Maybe paint them white,but not sure if that would look good with those particular wheels either.

If someone would like to do a photochop and see how it would look, go right ahead.

sell them or leave them how they are...

you should get them powder coated. i don't know if they're aluminum or not if they are then don't get them powder coated. it will stick to them but, not for very many years:nono:

It may be a hassle but I'd polish them. Painted rims (especially black) rarely end up looking good if they don't come that way from the manufacturer.

+1 you can buy a polish ball which cuts the time in half.

it will stick to aluminum,just as good as steel.his wheel's are aluminum.

Not a fan of three spoke wheels on a supra but I say leave 'em alone.

i know it will stick. i was just trying to say it will eventually flake off just like chrome does if you chrome plate aluminum or so i was told by the powder coating shop. i don't know if its true or not just giving him a heads up if he goes that way

 

[jessetooslow]

thanks for the suggestions guys.

if aluminum is bead blasted first it stick's real well.alot of oem and aftermarket wheel's are powder coated from the factory.abuse and salty winter road's will destroy any coating.it's all in how hard you are on thing's.chrome plated steel will shit up just as fast as plated aluminum.
anyway's,he can spray bomb the wheel's for cheaper and not have to pull the tire's

powder coat them RED. red rims on a white car works out sometimes

 

[Canuckrz]

Not with a blue interior. If you're going to paint them anything I'd powdercoat them with a darkish gunmetal with a touch of blue.

No.
I want to have sex with your wheels by the way.

i dunno if its those wheels or that picture but the body line on the front fender is SUPER defined in it.
