thanks man, i used Dupli-Color T257 Medium Blue. I got it from wal-mart in the automotive section. i put a very light coat of rustoleum lacquer to finish the job.

[cactusEG]

not tryin to be mean but that shits ugly...

[92_hatch_boi]

damn...that shits clean as fuck!

[97WhYt_TeG]

looks good mang!!!

[imbosile]

ooh nice, i like it

[GSRteg®]

Yes, im going to have to agree.

[sogood]

Although I like the old gold, they actually look pretty sweet blue. Nice work, man.

[GSRteg®]

I love the gold, but not the blueish.

[phongt12]

I like the gold better. It's old, but tried and true. The blue looks a bit tacky.

[Benefit]

you should have painted them gold like everybody else

[KevinT707]

Thats SO ugly

[thinkskater]

+1 for acutally preppin. looks good homie.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Its ugly because its not your usual black or gold finish. Lets the flamers flame but way to stand out from the crowd. +1 for a clean ride.

[.blank cd]

I like it! +1

[collins]

I like the gold better. It's old, but tried and true. The blue looks a bit tacky. correction.... the blue looks a bit ricer!

[Kyle]

IDK I don't think I will ever like blue wheels on anything. It looks like a well done paint job so :goodjob:

[EliteGSR]

thanks for all the comments guys.

i tend to paint my wheels when i get really bored... they've been gunmetal, black, gold, and now blue... i'm running out of options!

green maybe? :ninja: ...no.

[TypeRPersonality]

It doesn't look bad, but with my experience from painting wheels, they're much harder to clean. And did you happen to paint the inside of the wheels too? Looks great.

[Evil Goat]

money for the paint wouldve been better spent on a haircut

[SPOOLIN]

I like it, and im no ricer, its just nice to see change every once and a while.

[Doppelgänger]

You know, using note cards between the rim and the tire is WAY easier and works better lol.

That how i felt when i did the red GT-3's 3+ YRS ago when no one else around had them :(

[uproot]

notecards, what a smart bad ass idea, mother fucker!!

[gtikid]

Looks super clean man ;) Way to stand out...i'll have mine posted pretty soon :yes:

[gtikid]

I thought I was the only one who knew that trick :ninja:

[thecoolcutter]

Looks real nice! Great choice of color ... +1 for being different and DIY!:goodjob:

[Doppelgänger]

notecards, what a smart bad ass idea, mother fucker!!

NOPE!! :D :D

It was actually the factor Chaste White with Snow Pearl Mica over it. You silly Honda guys see off white and automatically think everyone is copying CW ,lol jk!!

Last time i did wheels, i used Magic cards lol.

[william_jeff]

[Kamikaze]

Nice job. :goodjob:

[02type-s]

i like it, its something different.

[EliteGSR]

those are awesome

good job! :goodjob:

how long did it take you to do it btw?

it took me about 30 mins per wheel (#). prepping the wheel is a pain, but its worth it in the long run.

edit: i've painted them 4 times now, so i'm starting to get the hang of it.

[GSRteg®]

True that



correction.... the blue looks a bit ricer!

[boosted_nonv]

nice man

[FLIPside]

:goodjob: very nice, looks good

[Shawna]

i dont like the color...well maybe i would if it werent on wheels...but they look good job well done

[Fr33way]

+1 For not being on the gold/black/red bandwagon.

[cactusEG]

Its ugly because its not your usual black or gold finish. Lets the flamers flame but way to stand out from the crowd. +1 for a clean ride.

no flaming from me, just an honest opinon :goodjob:

[AtifSajid]

[-S Double C-]

[LiL PaKi]

[turb0teg]

I love it.
I can't decide what color to do my rims, but they are gonna get painted.

You're sorta like me... "Im bored" "whatcha want to do?" "lets go paint the wheels"

I've done that about 7 times....:D

[BigTs13]

i have blue wheels too. people are gonna hate. but its your car. i think they look fly!

[Josh...]

well done.. nice choice in color, looks good..

I saw your car today on east-west today as you went to walmart, (I was in the sliver accord) your car looks good.

[phongt12]

I saw your car today on east-west today as you went to walmart, (I was in the sliver accord) your car looks good.

So were 50% of drivers on the road, including me :lmfao:.

[Josh...]

True, but he looked at my car as he passed me.

[Fuster_Cluck]

[Z33_kid]
