i always wanted to do something with my r/t wheels, so i stripped em and painted em white.

some people wont like the white, im skeptical, my buddies said go white and i could have cared less sooooo...

i'll get bored of this soon and next time i think im gonna go bronze.

I can't really say I like it on silver. Have you considered gunmetal?

I was gonna say black with a red lip, but I see in your sig that you've done that before...

Don't think that works on those wheels. Too many spokes, no depth to them.

Atleast you were thinking outside the box.

meh, yeah i know its kinda blah on silver.

i was thinking gunmetal actually.


hmm i'll be having my black wheels redone while the car is in the shop so i'll probly have them back on soon.

i painted my r/t wheels gunmetal and it looked awesome on the r/t.

i like the white, just not sure how i feel about it on a silver car....

its kinda honda-ish.

I was just about to say that...

Damn... I really want a set of r/t wheels...

what was your process? looks good

lol poor to be honest...

aircraft stripper took off most of the clear and paint but left the surface full of imperfections...i sanded what i could, their roughly smooth haha, i then painted with sandable primer...sanded...flat white x 2 ...sanded...then went over it with 2 coats of gloss white for shinier look...then used duplicolour wheel coating...2 coats of that.

im also waiting on extended wheel studs and open ended red lug nuts.

I like the concept, but I just don't think the white compliments the silver all that well.

No Cam, I didn't call you stupid...

i think ive seen you driving on steeles ave one day...

yeah i checked your profile, i've seen you a couple times...nice car you got, like the cf.

the silverstones actually look pretty good in white. they look decent on silver but i bet they would look even better on a darker color. nice work.

i've posted this on 2 forums and everyone hates it, hul kogan is the first person to say something even remotely positive haha. some people are flat out rude but they drive 1gen's so nuff said.

haha guess its time to paint em again.

Not bad.

well, i am somewhat partial to white wheels. i had some a number of years back. they are usually pretty hard to pull off and depend a lot on the wheel style and color of the car. i say rock them for awhile unless you rly don't like them.

Did you edit that photo before posting? To me it looks like you turned up the saturation and contrast...

If you have the original, post that up. Then I will have a comment for you.

i adjusted the brightness and contrast a bit...nothing crazy... i can post up the original but imo its not even worth it because there beater wheels.

you either like em or you dont.

not bad, good job on the paint too. Question about the aircraft stripper you used... did you remove the tires when you did it? If not, is there anything to worry about with the stripper and the tires? I was gonna use the stuff on my wheels to remove all the paint/clearcoat and redo them this year, but am afraid of ruining my $500 tirs.

Thanks.

i just duck taped the tires off and then tape paper around it...the stripper got on the tape and made it gooey but i doubt any got on the tire...i could have cared less tho...these tires arent all that good...traction t/a's ftl.

i love it

doesnt look BAD, but i think you should sell them to me instead of messing with them anymore..... i want R/T wheels..

They would look amazing on TNks car....but anyways The wheels look good you did a great job but the silver with white wheels just doesnt look good. If you dont sell em to TNK you should pain em gunmetal or flat black

i like em.

i think the car looks great.

i like the white.not so sure on silver but it does look pretty good
