Hahaha! Now I just have to think on what color to paint it. Maybe black, blue, or Red. We'll see. I also want to paint my calipers red.

go for it man...
flat black or gloss?

pgFA · 05-05-2008, 02:25 PM

Most likely will go with red for calipers. Not sure if I'm gonna paint the cover. Maybe later on.

Black will look good with GG. I would personally keep it flat black though.

I dont want to paint them myself. I dont know how. I actually wanted to ask for help. I need someone to go with me to buy the paint or tell me what paint it. Then ill show up at your house with a 24 pack and we can paint them together. Just tell me how to do it and slap me in the back of the head if im doing it wrong so i can stop. lol

HAHA umm just hit up kragens and the have a dupli color rim paint in black, silver. gunmetal...

it should be fairly simple man, just san it down a little so the paint will stick. mask off the tire... and bada bing bada boom... you got black rims

***calircr*** · 05-05-2008, 02:45 PM

sickyute has a diy thread on how to paint your rims. i think he made his own time attack rims. you can probably follow that and get what you want.

pgFA · 05-05-2008, 02:58 PM

What Gabe (K20Z3_619) did was put like cards around the lip so that it wont get the tires. PM him since he did his black as well.

galaxygrey13 · 05-05-2008, 03:15 PM

Ill look into it cause i really dont want to mess up my rims.

pgFA · 05-05-2008, 03:22 PM

I want to do it with my stockers as well. Paint it Bronze with the red H for the center caps.

sdblurjdmsquad · 05-05-2008, 04:10 PM

yeah me to, mabye dark gray.. or something...
i like the stock wheels

pgFA · 05-05-2008, 04:15 PM

Paint it the same color as the car. You'll be the first with GG rims. At least I haven't come across one.

color matching rims... isnt that kinda egotish?
lol

pgFA · 05-05-2008, 04:29 PM

Not really. You've seen white on white and black on black. Why not GG on GG since its kinda like a normal set of color for wheels since you have bronze and gunmetal. Your's will be somewhere in the middle.

4 Doh SI 4 Life · 05-05-2008, 04:32 PM

I wanna paint my stocks too! I'm totally in with galaxy grey's idea. i'll bring a 24 too! that's a lotta beer for painting some rims. haha

I like the stocks and want to do a gloss black. So im in for the idea

How do you like your tint?

I was thinking of going 5% all around or 5% in back with 25 or 35% or whatever the next one up is in the front.

pgFA · 05-05-2008, 04:59 PM

If you guys ever decide to meet up let me know. Maybe I can watch.

***calircr*** · 05-05-2008, 05:02 PM

^ my driver and passenger windows aren't tinted. i've been debating on it but i've been seeing more and more people posting up here in socal about getting pulled over for the tints up front. i would just be a total PITA to get them removed and then have them redone, and it would be costly.

other than that, i kind of wish i had gone darker but then i think back on my previous car. on my last car, i had limo tint all around and backing up at night was a bish. had to roll down my windows or ask someone to get the f outta my car and tell me how much room i had.

I remember those days! When i had my 7th gen civic, i was the same way....backing up turned into a 30 point turn....it was ridiculous. but i never got hit for tint. but i kind of like the offset tint....especially cause limo all around draws even more attention than we already get as it is
