Paint the Stock Rims?

SAND REEALLLY REALLLY good before and after you primer..... Its CRITICAL you do... because you will mess it up if its not.... GL with the paint, I vote yes

 

Not hard to do and you cant beat it for the price. I painted the wheels on an old Xterra I had. If I can do it anyone can.

 

just painted my sr5 wheels. Pretty happy with the results! and saved 4+ bills on a set of black wheels!

 

Def thinking about this...

 

400$ ain't to bad considering the cost of buying new black rims. I needed a second set of rims considering that I live in Canada where we need to run summer and snow tires. I was looking at getting some trd black wheels but couldn't justify spending 1800$. Found a set of stock alloys with tpms for 260$, payed a shop to professionally sand blast and powder coat flat black for 400$. So for 700$ i get brand new rims.

I get them back this coming week, I will throw up some shots then. If you want a non permimant solution, take a look at plasti dipping your wheesl. Less of a shock for your folks as you can just peel it off. If the look grows on you then you can paint them up.
