So im fixin to winterize my car by ditchin my rims now and poppin on my good ole steelies...thing is I think I wanna paint them like a dark bronze color....my steelies are black....my car is a Titanium Metallic 02 4dr LX...I wanna kno if anyone else has done something like this before or what your feedback on it is....

I searched before I posted and found that one guy tried to paint a lip on his steelies and im not gonna do that...I want the whole thing painted...

Don't do it, there's nothing more ghetto than painting steelies unless you're painting the hubcaps

I think people are coming to conclusions without anything to base their opinion off of...maybe this picture will give everyone a better idea of what I wanna do...

 
Rep Power: 295

is that picture supposed to convince us into thinking that painted steelies are cool?

Convinced me that it can work better than unpainted steelies on some cars and that's all he was asking for, but I would say a definite no for bronze steelies on a titanium metallic sedan.

Do what you want, these folks make you think on their level!!!
It might look bad but it is ultimately your choice not theirs.
If it's ricey its ok we are all rice here i think everyone forgot!!!

^^what do you mean we are all ricey?

 
Rep Power: 256

Thats what I started to think too, lol. There wouldnt be too much of a color difference from the color of my car and the color of the rim...maybe ill just paint it silver and look like the old skool honda steelies...

i think he means that we all drive rice burners so we are rice.....i don't think he means the rice that most hate(big tin foil spoilers)

 
Rep Power: 294

Yeah the real term rice means any import and yes that makes us RICERS because we drive the rice hahahha but anyway, don't paint the steelies unless your gonna perfect it and make it look good, even then it looks cheap, why are you getting rid of the rims?

I don't think the rims on the hatch look that bad. If you have no other choice, do it. Just do a good job on the paint. [I won't think less of you if you do it member #1]

Thats pretty funny cause whoever stole that at the wallmart thinks that they got a pimp *** jdm rim, poor bastard.

I think I would rather paint the hub cap it self, gloss black or matte black something. Or buy hub caps from the store and paint those. Theres no excuse for steelies. In the winter I still rock my factory EX hub craps!

^Steelies look better w/o hubcaps I think, I'm gonna bust them out pretty soon as the snow is coming

SHAVED WHEELS FTW!

 
Rep Power: 283

idk i think hubcaps looks better...

heres my old winter setup

 
Rep Power: 278

^ the problem is they're 14" steelies they would look tiny w/ my drop

 
Rep Power: 283

ohh alright

Im not necessarily getting rid of my Rotas. They just need to go away for storage for the winter season since they have summer tires on them. Plus I need new tires and the most cost effective way for me to get them is to wait until the spring so I dont waste any useless tread during the winter. I dont have to look good in the winter, lol....I just wanna get to where im goin safer..
