Hi guys!., I was thinking about change the color of my rims, but I dont know about anything yet.

I like my car the way it looks now, but I´d like to change the color to black too. maybe not black dark, maybe a light black almost grey.


Now, can You tell me what you think about this ... I just want to know how it looks better for all of you.


I tried to post a pic but I couldnt. so maybe later..

well here it is the pic, I painted my front rims just to see how it looks in black, but It was too black, I want some paint more grey than black.

and It was the cheapest paint I found, just to try.

Personally, I've never been a fan of paiting wheels due to chiping that can occur from rocks and scratches that wheels are subject to. Are you using the stock wheels or do you have an aftermarket set?

I painted my stock HX rims on my last car, they looked awsome!

Chipping? Use duplicolors wheel paint and they wont chip. Unless you just suck at painting. Take your time use a few coats, you dont need to primer, just use a steel wool and scrub it up good, then start painting, looks like a powder coated finish. I tried to scratch ime, I couldnt do it.

I say go for it smile.gif

how about you just deal with the color a little longer...buy new wheels that you want, and sell those to me. those look nice and id like to see them on my car.
