PICS of painted stock rims?

bretto · Nov 4, 2003

Anyone have pics of stock 5-star steelies painted black? I am thinking of doing this and then leaving the center caps silver. Just wanted to see if anyone had pics to see how it looks.

brett-

I thought about doing this on my old 87 XJ....always thought it would be a good looking cheap way to upgrade what you got.

I think it would look sweet!

Did it on my 96. Looks much better than the silver. I also painted the center caps.

I have a friend who painted the rims and left the center caps silver, here are some pictures of his YJ

I've thought of doing this to and after seeing the pictures of it done to the wheels on that YJ I'm going to do it.

this is a pretty good idea. i think i might have to do it also.

any reccomendations on type of paint (rattlecan brand) and prep work?

just clean the crap out of it( clean enough to eat off of) and a good rattle can should do it.

I did this to my '98 stock steel wheels and it looks awesome. I used a cheap roll/brush on bed liner from Advance Auto Parts. It turned out really cool and is tough as hell. The stuff was about $15 for a quart.

That was what I was looking for...looks great and I have already started doing it. I think I will be keeping the center caps silver. Sort of a cheapie knock-off look of rock crawlers.

Thanks mrfoo

I did it with plain old Krylon Semi-gloss black and some good cleaning. Also left the center caps off, to me it looks better that way, and all around it looks better then silver.

I did it and it looks great. However, my son, ever wanting to burn through that wad of money in his pocket, wanted to buy rockcravwlers instead; so now there getting washed in the grass in the woods behind the house.
