    hey guys, what do you think about this. my summer rims are dick cepek dc-1 machined with black. i dont like any chrome etc, i plastidipped them all black. plastidip is a pain in the butt to keep clean, and it fades. i dont have money to buy new rims, im thinking of spray painting these all black, im also thinking of painting the fake bead lock bolts red or another color, what do you all think?

    Go for it, you might also look into powder coating them which will hold up much better...

    Don't paint the bolts red! You'll be tired of that look before you finish the fourth wheel.

    Powder coating is a great idea. But when its all said and done you might as well buy new wheels for the cost.

    Buy a new set, put your old set on ebay.
