vy ss rims sprayed black on vy ss

[schoey3]

Hey guys,

I just recently got a set of vy ss rims for free off my uncle and he has already primed 2 of them and was preparing to strip a 3rd and i was just curious what you guys would think if i had sprayed them black and put some low profile tyres on my Delf blue VY exec and possibly lowering the car in a month or 2.

just seeing everyones opinions on what it would look like, suggestions and images would be very helpful.

thanks guys,

It's been done a million time's before. Doesn't look to bad.

I love the look mate, gives the car that stealth tough street kind of look.

Took me 5 seconds with the search bar.

the look better silver ,black looks cheap

[AUSFITTER]

I wouldnt say they look cheap but im not saying they look graet on a bog stock ss either. Personally i only think you can pull it off if it has been lowered.

i had plans of lowering the car on ssl king springs

hi guys,
i have begun spraying the rims,
when finished and fitted with tires i will post up pics, for all to see

Lowering the car looks good but I think black rims look dirty as if they're covered in brake dust but thats me. White rims look good on a blue car (like the VK SS's).

[schoey3]

[schoey3]

1 and a half of killrust proxy enamel
and 8 sheets of P800 sand paper

Hell yeah, I might have to try this on my car when i get around to lowering it. Looks good.

Out of curiosity... how did u get yout tyre off? Ive never attempted.. just assumed u needed a machine haha

[schoey3]

i received the rims off my uncle who already had the tires off, sorry man

[Calaber]

Sorry, I reckon the original silver finish is streets ahead in appearance. Hate the black.

Personally never been a fan of black wheels, looks almost as ordinary as stockies without hubcaps.
