  • What rim color for my rims??

    i plan on getting my rims powder coated. i would love to spend $3000 on some nice rays but im not rich. theyre chrome now and its all pitted/flaking and looks like ass up close. theyre not exactly jdm style rims.. theyre old mustang shelby rims lol, but the fitment is great.
    theyre 17x8 +20 with nitto neo spec 225/45/zr17

      anything dark would look great. matte black is also nice.

        going to paint them for the meanwhile. going to use a black primer, 3 coats of bronze and three coats of clear in duplicolor wheel paint.

        this is how that combo came out on some scrap metal.

            I'm pretty sure you'll have a very difficult time trying to get paint to stick to chrome. You may have to media blast them to get some texture to the surface so the paint can adhere.
