Rims

Should I paint my stock GSX rims black???

Yes or no?

I'm assuming your car is red? Go ahead if you want, I think it will look good, just don't do a shitty job. Better yet, have them powder coated.

Ya thats what I was thinking.. but even like a shinny dark grey powder coated.

Black rims are overplayed IMO.

Do it, you can take the tires off at work one day and then we can get that shit lookin real nice.

I just would need one more real 2 piece GSX rim and that would prob seal the deal..

I think this would look good on your car.

2GB GSX Wheels
1-sand blasted
2-primed them
3-painted the red lip
4- then get your self a deck off cards and stuck them betwen the lip and the rim on that lil grove there is make a funel all around and just got at it with the black on the inside.

Here's a picture of my wheels with the rim painted black but the lip left alone.

Thats really helpfull! Maybe Ill just paint them like that guy did and not have them powder coated???? Thanks!

I spray painted my wheels black, they have held up really well. And if you want to paint them, masking tape easily slides down into the grove between the lip and rim face. Prep is key; make sure they are clean before and after u sand them and obviously before you start spraying anything.

Well I picked up 2 more rims so I have a matching set and my car will be going up on blocks for the winter pretty soon since I bought a winter beater yesterday!! I plan on doing this over the winter... But might be sooner then later just because I'm excited to do it!!
