Well Frog was the first to paint his stock 17's and I've decided to be a copycat.

At this point I've only painted 2 wheels. I'm trying to decide if I would be better off using a silver or gray paint instead. Seems like alot of black on the 'vert. I do plan to paint my mirrors, so we'll see how things progress.

(I'm now seriously thinking about going with Foose wheels, but not the starfish version)

Let me know what you think.


PS, if you are a Sonic Blue member looking for a stock trunk, I'm looking to trade with somone with the Spoiler Delete.

looks good -- goes with the top.

 

I second - I like it.

 

I like it too! I wonder how spinners would look on those wheels?

 

Has anyone tried to paint the std 17" rims and if so how about some pics?


Thanks

 

I think they look great. They match the top nicely.

 

Nice I really like the look.

 

looks good! do you have any close up's?

 

I am not the biggest fan of black wheels or the optional wheels but MAN doe sthat look good!!!!

REAL nice!!!

 

Looks good!!

 

I'm not a big fan of the optional 17" machined wheels, but I think what you've done makes them look more appealing.

 

Looks good on Sonic Next you need to black'n between the tails to match to the wheels.

 

I'll second that! It does make those wheels look waaaaay better

 

I love it! I think that I will have to be a copy cat too!

 

Eric, what kind of prep did you do to pait your wheels?

 

Never mind I found Frog's post.

Thanks for the tip!

 

I've never been a fan of those wheels, but that looks NICE with the black top.

 

I've been waiting a month for my black between the tails. There is some sort of supplier issue with the one that I bought.

 

I'm obviously in the minority here, as I actually like the machined wheels to start with, but I think painting the center gives them a totally different feel. More business like and aggressive. Looks good
