I painted my 1gen sport rims tonight i started at about 1 am and just now finished at 6:48 am. I will get pics of them on the car tomorrow but right now the sun isn't even up and i'm tired so i'm going to bed. Night everyone.

Nice. Can't wait to rock a set of r/t rims if I end up getting a first gen.

no sir. sorry, but i do not like 1st gen wheels on 2nd gens. never have. stock 2nd gen wheels look better on a 2gn than 1st gen wheels do...

Paint work looks good. Still unsure if I like them or not, though. It's like they are missing something...hmm.

I don't like stock 1st gen wheels on a 2gn at all. But if you like it then good for you.

And your tires are very very brown. lol

I think the Tires need painted too.

I think TNK needs these tires on his creme (tan) colored wheels. Then his wheel/tire setup would look like a 3 Muskateers.

i think they look good for what they are. I'm prolly gonna use these as my winter rims and get rota's for the summer.

The paint job is great!

The wheels themselves, the paint job looks good, but they look weird on the car.

Thinking the same thing. Theys tick out like a sore thumb on glossy black rims. Get some tire dressing.

Judging by how dirty the car is I'd say that has something to do with his tires.

OP: I just moved into a house that is down a mile dirt road. I feel your pain lol

I think they would make nice winter wheels. I'm with everyone else though. They don't feel right. Good paint quality though.

Here are some more pics from today at work with the car clean but i didn't put tire shine on yet. Thank you everyone for comments on the actual paint job i always paint the best i can and never cut any corners. I am very happy with the outcome but still want to wetsand and buff them. Keep the comments coming. I'll snap some more pics tomorrow with tire shine.

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:15 am

needs 15s or bigger. and cleaned tires. black on black looks good. but they are too small.

Dude, no matter how much I can't sleep I don't think I ever said, "Welp, I guess I'll go paint my rims"!
Kudos to you.

i think maybe a red lip with red "neon" printed on would look cool.

neonpla · Post by **neonpla** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 9:28 pm

Just spray Tire-Foam on them (from pepboys) and you're good to go.
