i like the ring u left around the edge, to keep it from being messed up when wheel weights when u get new tiers. im gonna add quite a bit of black and a little red to mine before too long and will prolly leave the outside ring alloy. how much of a pita was that to tape?

 

Look good!

 

Looks good. I like it.

 

Not to bad on the tape. Get really good painters tape and just attach the edge as you are circling.

 

I had to come in this thread to check it out when you stated "stock tires painted..." because I was thinking who in the WORLD would be painting the TIRES? Hahaha

 

I did the same.

 

Nice job.

 

Same here.

Although I've seen hundreds of stock wheels painted black and never really liked any of them, I do like the way yours came out with leaving the lip silver.

 

Truck with Camper and newly painted rims

 

Ok. I also got a new set of BF Goodrich All Terrain TKO's as well.

 

Let us know how the paint job holds up.

 

I'm not a fan of blacked out rims, but I must say that the silver around the edge looks good with the black.

 

Update - Paint job is holding up ok. I've had the tires replaced and then rebalanced again after that. They are mud & snow BF Goodrich All Terrain TKO's and seem to be tough to balance perfectly.

I touched up the edges where my taping was suspect with success. The taking of the tires on and off produced a chip and the plastic center caps needed touching up. Easy with a small paint brush.

Would I do it again? Yes for $20 and some elbow grease I produced a rim that I like over the stock rims.

 

Nice mod & looks good!

 

I would like to see more info on that camper!

Wheels look nice by-the-way. I like the silver ring - I have never been a fan of all-black wheels.

Edit: Okay, I found the camper build thread. Awesome
