personally... they do not look bad at all....!!! i like the black ones aswell...

 

well im getting after market black wheels with chrome lip. so after i have those ill just make the old wheels project wheels and if they turn out cool...more power to me!

i dont like the blue on grey...black would have been good.

 

what type of paint did u use?

 

ugly!

 

Cheap Multi-Purpose Metallic Blue from WalMart.
Duplicolor Clear Lacquer from AutoZone.
Found anywhere spray paint is sold.

 

Not normally my thing at all, but I think those look GREAT!

 

you've definitaly got some guts, there is no way i would do that to my rims!

 

That flint looks hot! but im not sure im feeling the blue... the black probably would have looked better. E for effort though... it doesnt look bad just wouldn't be my choice.

 

Hey, I was thinkin about paintin my stock rims black. Anybody know how much I should expect to pay at a shop to get this done??? Don't wanna get ripped off!

 

IMO, paying someone to do it is paying too much. Check out this thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=57023. That is someone who painted his wheels properly and it came out damn good. He got instructions from: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1119972. There's really not much to it. Most of the process is spent waiting for stuff to dry. The materials shouldn't cost more than $30, $40 at the very most. I'd guess a couple hundred to have them done at a shop. If you do it youself and totally F it up twice and have to redo it, it'll still be cheaper than having someone else do it. What do you have to lose?

 

if it was for street wheels, id say its ugly..but since its for auto X, its not too shabby..rims you use in autocross dont gotta be pretty

 

^^ true that. someone make some doo doo brown colored ones for auto-xing, lol

 

thanks for the info, i think I might give it a try this weekend

 

i like the black, but has anyone thought about gold or bronze?

 

no offence, but that is a crappy masking job and you can tell from the rims, at least an inch is still the stock color. dont be lazy, that is the result...

 

He said he half-assed the paint job, right? Leave it alone. I'm sure he did it just to see what it would look like. Those aren't even his street wheels anyways. Who cares what they look like!
Komik, cool idea for your auto-x wheels. I love your street wheels, though (not the color for me, but the design). What kind are they? Thanx.

No offenSe, but you're an idiot. Take a second look at the FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD:
Geez, some people are just so eager to say negative things that they don't even bother to see what they're talking about.

Thank you Blue tC, it's nice to know that some of these screen names have brains attached to them. My street wheels are 18" ADR Fuel Rims with Kumho Exsta ASX 225/45/18's on them. I originally got them for my Acura about a year before I got my tC. I finally bought tires for them two months ago. Luckily, they fit on the tC. :D
