Factory wheels painted black - Any fotos?
« on: August 21, 2009, 06:53:42 AM »
Has anyone painted his factory wheels black (especially interested on an onyx black redline) ?
i found a foto of someone who has done that and it looks awesome.. (but that was only one foto).
i am thinking of trying that later this year...

if anyone has fotos, pls post. Thx

I like that. Was already thinking about getting the aftermarket wheels I bought black, now I'm thinking about doing it with the stockers too.

In my city costs around $130-$200 but we can't compare the labor prices in our countries :(

My hardest thing is to borrow 4 jacks for 2-3 days to have them painted.

If you can have them Powder Coated black, that is the way to go.

It looks like he had his windshield frame painted to match also.  And put GT emblems on the sides.

i searched a little and i just called a guy who is top in Greece in painting rims, asked him for a price, he said around 350$....too much, still it looks awesome. i saw the windshield, but i prefer it the way it is. i am just a fool for dark rims..
these emblems are GTaime if i am correct. the 09 Opel GT comes with OEM GT emblems which are cool...





got to paint them black asap (when will i get my bonus?? i must spend some money...)

Great idea which I will take in consideration about my wheels.

I got my stock rims on my Solstice Powder coated for $35 per rim, total was $140.

Cant have the tire on it though so you gotta spend money to take them off and put them on, balance, alignment.

I did a research in my area I can get them blasted for $35 and $100 powder coating or paint for all 4 rims.

I'm just afraid that the powder shop will not make a good job because I didn't saw rims made by them.
