Are they powercoated? if not what kind of paint did you use?

patton98 · Post by **patton98** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 7:49 pm

no they are not powdercoated...its a spray paint from duplicolor.... here is a pic of them on the car ....btw the reason it looks so high is because its jacked up on the other side cuz im painting those wheels now....

my thoughts: paint the center caps black, black lugs, wingless. however it is your car and keep up the good work

patton98 · Post by **patton98** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 8:37 pm

Remove the wing. For realz.

Everybody always says how they love their wing, they're not gonna take it off just cause nobody else likes it, it fits their car great, etc.. Then they take it off and love it.

That looks really clean now. I like the new look.

dig it

but i think it would look cooler if you did no center caps ..
but thats just me

still looking good tho

I like it.

I think your car would look better with a sxt spoiler or none at all (just my opinion). But your car looks good man!

bigbird · Post by **bigbird** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 7:11 am

wheels look good, but I don't like the yellow caps personally. Either way, more pics please!

dtjackten · Post by **dtjackten** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 9:00 am

i am looking at painting my wheels now, (due to money going into my engine, and not exterior) how did the paint work? did u clear it after you painted it?? i was looking at it a while ago, but just wondered how it worked, and held up before i tryed it???

looks great btw!!!!

bstc00 · Post by **bstc00** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 9:03 am

Love it! paint the center and it will 100 X better, and YES paint the mirrors NOW.

patton98 · Post by **patton98** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 9:37 pm

ha ha i think im gonna try to get the mirrors done here in the next couple weeks...well here is what i did.....sanded the shit out of the wheels primered them....then laid the black down...then i wet sanded them and hit them with some more black...i have not cleared them yet because i just havent had time and this is my dd so im kinda limited when i can do it...but so far they are holdning up really well for spray paint...ill get more pics tmw...its too dark right now

I kinda like the yellow center caps. Maybe get a vinyl sticker cut in like a dodge logo or a ram or maybe the old school neon logo.

Over four years ago I took my wing off then purchased an AVS (one of the actual AVS') I had it for awhile and hated it. Hated not having the wing so I put it back on and it's been there ever since. Some of us actually do like it

As for the wheels I like the paint, just not the center caps being yellow.
