OK As you all should know I am a starving student with not much cash to blow.

When I throw my winter rims on that leaves me with my summer rims. I want ideas on what you guys think would look decent that I can do with them before winter hits too hard.

I’m a big fan of blacked out, forged, super expensive japanese rims. Preferably in a tasty size like 17"…so I voted for flat black paint. Education is more important than rims, and when you have your education would will be able to buy all sorts of neato rims. :shock:

Sorry I guess some of the newer people havn’t seen me / my car yet.

My rims are the 7-spoke alloys on the S-13 SEs.

I polished them (that is sanded + buffed) last summer, and now they are all scratched up and grungy looking again.

Hey Chris, I think we spoke at the Sept meet.

BTW if you get caught robbing said bank then then only rims you’ll be seeing will be the ones you’ll be giving to the other inmates. :lol:

Sand (heavy to fine grit), prime it (a layer or two), paint (a few layers)  
and if you want some bling bling shine, clear coat it.

Painting rims is for ricers like iQuaBoB. :shock:
