Civic EG

bought a set of cheap 10 spoke rims in silver, bad condition with scuffs and corrosion, so i decided to paint them. what do you think? are they worthy of new tyres? im in 2 minds let me know



they started of like that



to that



that is a pic after i painted the red lip



there is the finished product, they kinda loo funny with the red lip and no tyre, also the black rim in the pic is a uk crx alloy , i bought a set of 5 the other day , there are in really bad condition and they were also in silver, so in between coats of paint with the multi spoke wheels, i rubbed down the crx wheel then polished the lip. and finally sprayed the centres black, i think it looks good but the complete set wont be finished for a long time yet as they are in bad condish. let me know what you all think , or

looks pretty decent

looked at the large pic and it looks like you have red overspray all over the black or is that not the case?

Hey, a good cheap deal is NEVER a bad deal.

Now you've got yourself a decent pair of rims to roll on and it didn't cost you $2K.

I bought 4 prelude rims with rubber for $100 from a guy and plan on doing the same thing

yea the rims were £40 and 4 new tyres should be around £200. no man this isnt red overspray thats the glow (reflection) comming of the little heater just out of the pic, you can see the white thing on the right hand side of the pic, thats a little heater and its shing onto the black.

That looks surprisingly awesome. I am liking the Red Lip, You did an awesome job.

I will have do something like this.

They look okay but I am a sucker for silver or polished wheels. I would have just redone em in silver.

JLau if we want to impress you we know how

If he digs the lip then I think he did an amazing job, clearly he's a DIYer

yea its ok i asked for opinions and if someone dosent like they way i have done them or how they look after all thats why there is 1000s of different rims out there as everyone has different preferences. thanx for the comments !

I think they turned out pretty good!! That shade of red you used is hella bright!!
