    Default Help my colour these rims

    Wondering if someone can help me colour these rims black, wanna get an idea what these word turn out like black. These are stock VY SS Ute Rims.

    If its possible, could someone do 2, one with the whole thing black, and one with just the inside of each section black, leaving the outside around the rim and the thicker part on the side of each section (spoke) silver.

    Making something light into something black isn't easy... here's the whole thing blackened, had to get a better picture too cause your one is far too small.




    and just the centres... kinda retro looking.

    What colour is your ute? I'll put these on a picture of it (or similar) so you can get a better idea because the whole black one won't look good without context

    Thanks for all that mate Yeah i like the two tone, not sure if i wanna spend the money on it though.

    Would you possibly be able to show me the first one again (so just the car with the black rims), but if you can do anything to make it glossy or shiny (not sure if you can do anything like that?)

    Cheers

    Yeah i think i might like to do that eventually, not too sure. I do agree, looks very spiffy

    I'm just tryna find out what i'd actually have to do to the rims to get them glossy, cause i hate that "dead" looking black... I know a bloke who has a silver SSZ, and he just painted the rims black, and it looks like shit now. I don't want that to happen haha.

    Anyone got any idea how i'd get them shiny?

    getting them painted proffesionally in a gloss black should be shiny. Did your mate get a matte black? if not i cant see why it wouldnt be shiny

    You reckon gloss black is the way to go?
