Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
Looks nice, I was thinking of doing something like that, but it was easier to just tell the PC'er to make them all black. 
Lang - It's about $50-$125/wheel to PC. Places around here charged $100/wheel.  |

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
Do you even have to take the wheel off to do this? It looks like an easy & cheap job and i really like how it looks. My plain stock ones are buggin me.

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
hey lord , its best to remove wheel and tire from truck to avoid overspray on your paint . but no need to remove tire from wheel . i painted all my center caps and spare on a fri night and did the other four wheels on a sat . just scuff the clear coat with a scotch brite pad . tape off the tire at the bead and spray away

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
one other thing i thought of after doing mine , you might try it , is get self etching primer and then paint over the primer might hold up better

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
Nice selective use of bling. I'm a fan of tasteful bling too. You should see the bling action on the H2 forum.

Re: Because I'll never be a true HOABie
For those of you who spray painted your rims black, is it noticable that it is not powder coated or professionaly done? Also how long ago did you do it, is there any signs of wear?
