1 year ago I bought some used aftermarket rims with the intent of repainting them. i finished sanding them down long ago and sorta stashed it away in the corner for time being. forgot about it. got a motorcycle. stopped caring about cars.

well the time came to change my tires and now i needed to finish my rims cuz i wanted to slap the new tires on those bad boys instead.

before:


after:




installed



it was a long and painful process (3 hours of sanding PER rim) but definetly worth it. I love how my rims look especially while in motion.

That's exactly what I plan on doing with my rims. That is, once I get rims...

its better to take off your tires so that you get an even coat all over, but from the pics it looks pretty decent.
