These are the rims that are currently on my car.


This is what they would look like if they were p c gunmetal.


Wich one do you think looks better?

The gunmetal, but I'd spend that money on something else for your car.

Do it, they look 10x better in gunmetal.

if you are gonna do it gunmetal, do it all gunmetal imo.

I dont car for all gunmetal rims on a black eclipse.That why I wanted to powdercoat just the spokes instead of buying new rims.Maybe I could polish the rim between the spokes too.

idk, it just looked kind of weird how the gunmetal extended into where the lip would be. it would be better than all silver imo tho.

i have the racing hart c3 evo's and since they only come in forged alluminum (silver) i got some duplicolor graphite spray paint and some duplicolor clearcoat and made em gunmetal :) sickest rims i've ever seen (of course im biased...) but yea, its a lot cheaper than powdercoating, it DOESNT come off, flake or chip and even if it did i can just spraypaint it again. oh yea, i used a basecoat black primer and wet sanded the sheeit out of them, took me a good few days

edit: these have the exact same paint used on some subaru stock rims, just a taste what they look like here....take into account he obviously didnt want them to dark, more paint = darker, obviously. coolest thing about this is its custom, you did it and u can take pride in it, know what i mean?

Did you do any sanding before you put the basecoat primer on?Also how many coats of paint and clear did you put on?How long have they been painted now?What brand of clear did you use?
