Ewwww, gross.

 

yes, you cannot have black rims look good if hte lip isnt silver/polished/chrome/whatever

 

pics look good

 

I freakin love chrome.......I can't see how anyone would paint over it with black paint.

 

yea, it was a bold move, but i was happy with the results

 

It's the sexy. I want a pair.

 

i really want to do that cause my chrome is going to crap. im just unsure of stripping the chrome off.

 

post your process

 

Here's mine finished. Sorry, I haven't been on the board lately, but here they are... and yes, I know it needs lowered. And I know it needs washed and waxed very badly.

 

thats so sweet. i like the thick chrome edge instead of the normal very small polished edge you can get off ebay and such. so how was it with that chrome and painting over it?

 

The paint went over the chrome just fine and seems to be sticking very well.

 

Those look really nice. I was actually looking to pick up a set of ZR1s to use for street tires and dd usage and now I'm sure when I get them I'm going to go the black route. I want to use that hyperblack stuff, wonder how that would turn out?

 

what do you guys think of doing that to stock chrome TA wheels??

I just got a set of stock chrome TA at a steal and am thinking of painting them black like that but im not sure.

ibanez6rg could you post a step by step how you did it?

Thanks guys

 

What did you do to prep the chrome for paint?
