ok so I have these wheels,


and i want to paint them black and red. I was thinking about black spokes, with a red lip, but my question is how much of the lip should I do? just were the "rivets" are, or the full lip?

if someone wanted to do a photo shop of diff stuff that would be awesome too.

thanx.

 

no one has any ideas?

 

from where the rivets are and the whole lip/face. do the spokes and inside/back of the rim in black

 

thats what I was thinking also ,but was not sure.

thanx for the input.

anyone else?

 

That should look Hawt fo sho!

 

guess I will just have to trial and error it.

 

xA 15" Time Attacks? awesome, haha i think itd look dope. yeah t&e is the way to go!

 

Just prep them good and use quality green masking tape. They should turn out great. That's how I painted those wheels that Ambre has.

 

yea thats what I am going to do, I was just wanting some more options on design.

 

You could paint the whole wheel black first then just mask the very flats of the spokes and paint the rest bright red then clearcoat to seal them up. They would be very different.

 

my $.02:
whole rim minus the hub and scion symbol mat black, red rivets, have someone (possibly yourself depending) pin stripe the same red in an arc fashion from the edge of the rim down the spoke and "u-turn" around down the other spoke. Then complete this for the rest of the spokes.

-I don't know if you get the idea, I put it into paint and it looked ok but I don't know how to upload the pic sorry. If you are going for the theme of your cars it would give it a ratrod feel to the rim.

 

yea I see what you are saying.

As I started to tape them off, and paint them last night I realized how much of a pain it is going to be and that they will not be anywhere close to perfect. I think I am going to do the whole wheel black and do some of that thin red pinstripe tape along the outside edge of the wheel before I clear coat it.

 

sounds good post up some pics. i love DIY projects!!!

 

Oh Oh i got an an idea!

Here's what you need to do.
Paint them plaid

 

well I got them sanded and painted them black today, just got to get some red pin stripe tape and do that.

 

did you get rid of the 002s or pdcs?

 

oh no. still got them and the very first set of Nilo's made as well.

 

yea your catching up with me fast on wheels now lol

 

wait wait hold up.

I have 4 sets of wheels for TWO cars, and you are on your 8th set for ONE car ha ha not even close.

 

lol Ha ha ha ha come on ow you make it sound like thats a bad thing .
