AMAZING looking!

I haven't washed my brake dust off in a week and from about 10 feet away my wheels just look like they are graphite! It looks WICKED!

Might be too dark for the other colours but on the red it looks stellar!

 

I noticed the same thing on my black car - the dirty darker rims look better! I was thinking about having them powder coated actually.

 

I clean the rims every other day to avoid that
maybe I should stop j/k

 

just a heads up, if you leave that brake dust accumulate on the rim for a long period of time, it starts to bond with the molecules of the metal of the rim

 

I am painting my 18" gun metal grey with a red pearl lip

 

haha wow. i wanted to post the same thing, good call... haha

 

a red pearl lip
I dont know about that

 

You will not be able to see it unless the light hits it just right. I will be one of those things like, WHAT WAS THAT.

 

oh
that sounds ok then

 

I just got my rims back and they look GREAT. I painted them Cobra R Gunmetal Grey with a Red Peral Lip and left the center caps silver. The look is undescribable they look awsome. When you ride you can see the red glow wow. I will post a pic as soon as I can get a camera.

 

sounds nice

 

Get a camera NOW j/k

 

I would love to see this, been wanting to do the same thing on my black 8

 

haha funny u people mentioned that .. i also kinda liked how the rims looked with the brake dust, even though i constantly clean em.

the problem my car is Titanium Gray so it looks wierd with the car. I was thinkin of powercoating the rims yellow, that should make up for the loss of 9hp right?

i really like the rims so i dunno if i wanna change em, powder coat em or what..

 

I liked it so much that I painted mine

wow,

that has to be the record. a 5 and half year bump.. good job!

beers

 

haha
did you use duplicolor's graphite?

 

looks good, are you running spacers?

 

Yes I did, the metallic paint isnt easy todo. Had to sand after painting to get it smooth

Thanks, I am running 25mm hub centric spacers on all 4. I like the way it looks now, a little more aggressive than the OEM setup

 

Looks much more classy than what everybody else is doing (black)

 

painted mine too

 

looks good man; still think you shoulda gone with gold

 

This thread fails without pics.

 

That post was over 5 years ago lol

 

Oh snap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
