But i was totally bored and the rims needed attension anyways cause there were some scratches on em. Can't go back now....ill have to get used to em. Quote
White93z34 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 If I ever understand why people paint rims black, I'll know everything there is to know about people. Quote
9lumina6 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Posted September 9, 2008 If I ever understand why people paint rims black, I'll know everything there is to know about people. Maybe because the car is black???? idk... just a wild guess. Quote

Euro Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 that looks good, definitely better than the 98-99 Z34 wheels when they get painted. Quote

Funny you say that....cause i wanted to keep the Chevy Bowties red... the way they were b4.... but i got WAYYY too frustrated trying to mask them off.... cause im horrible at it....and i didnt even wanna attempt at taking them out and possibly breaking them.....so i got pissed and just sprayed over them. Yeah i'd like to have em red insted....but honestly if u look at them from a few feet away the bowties look more 3D black then when they did red on grey. Quote

That is pretty common, because (on the 'Burb) the center caps were plastic. The rest of the wheels looked great but the center caps were all scratched up Quote
