THE DUMBEST NEW TREND.

[Nemesis]

I dont necessarily think changing the color of a stock wheel is ricey, but most of the Honda crowd doesnt do it the right way. They buy a few rattle cans , spray it down, overspray on the tires and rush to grab their little cameras to post pics on a forum. Some stock wheels from manufacturers look like aftermarket wheels, even more so after being powdercoated. Im completely fine with it, but I have never seen a stock Honda type wheel that looked good painted...or if it has looked decent online it looked like **** in person. We all grow up though, and spray painting stock wheels is kind of ricey in my opinion. Ill admit, Ive done it before on past cars and it looked like **** after a while and took away from the whole look of the car and made it cheap.

NOT A STUPID THREAD AT ALL!


I think after seeing countless sets of DUPLICOLOR-Grade Wheels with over spray or Lime GREEN JDM, TEIN inspired applications, the man just felt like voicing his opinion.


I've seen some clean stock wheels but those accounts only make up about 15% of the overall population.

Don't get me wrong, I support "Working with what you have" 100% but if you do it.... DO IT RIGHT!


DON'T DO IT RICE,DO IT RIGHT! - LOL

You titled it NEW trend. I did Z32 300zx wheels in grahite in '99. The dually wheels on our '69 chevy pickup were painted white in 1979 and I painted them black in like 1994-95. It's not new by any means, just more people THINK they are capable of doing it.

Like I stated before, I am fully aware that this trend is not so new...
However, the number of ppl doing it has increased because of the relative cheapness of spraypaint and ppl wanting to achieve a look without spending the money....
