Teaser Pic, All black Moto Metal 951

I had 16" Moto Metal 951s and decided to upgrade to 17". Always loved the look of the wheel, so ended up getting the same wheels, but I wanted them to be a little different. I always thought the wheels would look better all black and once I saw "tacoridinhigh's" truck with the all black 951s, I wanted to get it done.

Here's just a quick teaser pic



I had them done at a friend's paint shop. Did the center caps too and got all black Gorilla lugs. They are already mounted on the truck and they look sick, but I'm gonna wait until I redo my lift before I post pics.

 

howd you paint them cause i honesty was thinking of someway to black them out as well

 

looks good. How'd you paint them?

 

My friend has a body shop and he did them. I'm not sure what materials he used. He masked off the whole wheel and just painted the brushed accents. The finish matches 100% perfect and there is no tape seam, he did a good job.

 

Great Idea. Their are so many wheels that would look 100x better if they were all black... The 951 is one of those wheels...

Just realized your wheel is on your kitchen sink... niiiiiice

 

did he powdercoat them?

 

those look awesome all black good job

 

No, they are just painted. I was going to do powder, but for it to be right, I'd have to have the wheels chemically stripped first and then have the whole wheel powdered. That would have been around $200-$250. I had them painted for $20 per wheel.

 

Mount up! lol j/k. They look good, can't wait to see them on the truck!

 

U should come out to the meet on the 28th..

 

Those look real good man

 

Thanks for all the compliments, here are some pictures of the wheels mounted.

 

wow i like these so much better now, with the all black! Nice job man!

 

Awesome! What size tires you running? 285/75?

 

!!!

 

The tires are 285/70/17.

 

Nice truck the rims are BA.

 

Those rims are murda! I think they look way better than with the machined lip.

 

dam!!! gotta get mine done now. would you be able to find out what paint he used to color match and post it here. would make a lot of people very stoked to have that info..

 

I'm not trying to be a "Debbie-Downer" but do you think they are going to chip easy?

They do look 10x better all black!
