Hey just won a set of 18" GTP wheels off ebay for my balt. I've seen them on a few others and loved the look. I got them cheap due to a few scratches such as:


I'll do a search on it too, but just a quick question about how I would go about fixing this? All the wheels have minor ones like this from the tires being unmounted. My plans for these wheels are to paint them black after fixing these too. Also I plan to use the Duplicolor wheel paint, with these being bare aluminum wheels should I use a primer underneath or just the wheel paint and a clear? Thanks, appreciate the help and cant wait to install!

 

what color are you painting?

 

Going black

lol just read your sig, I think I'm #4 now, hockeyman just got a set not too long ago too

 

black ftw!!!




just sand them down good and a nice coat of primer....few coats of black and a few of clear and a wetsand and you'll be good..gonna repaint these after i get tires to graphite black

 

DAMN those look good! What kind of paint did you use, the dupicolor wheel paint or other? Those look awesome. Next year I plan to have them powdercoated when I get new tires for the spring. Just want these on until it snows then I'm going for some steelies. That looks good tho man, love the look!

 

i just used the cheap walmart flat black and clear....i painted my last set of rims with the same paint and it held up great like 8 months no chipping or anything

 

Nice I may have to try that, sorry for all the questions lol but what grit paper did you use/do you recommend for what these look like? Thanks

 

mine had a few scratches so i used an 120 grit on the scratches to get then flush then sanded the rims with 800 grit ...

then prime

 

Ok thanks a lot, appreciate it!

 

yup any problems pm me

 

Sanded them down and are in paint right now, waiting for the color to dry for the clear to go on, they look SICK!

 

be unique when painting!

 

I"m not a fan of black rims, but I like those!

 

Those look great dude but I went all black with them. With the silver showing it wouldnt go with my car. Love yours though, they go great.

 

hockey man those are pretty nice

 

now these look ******* awsome

Does anyone think this would work on the ss/tc?
if so these could be my winter rims.

How heavy are they?

Thanks

 

I'm pretty sure the tc's are the same bolt pattern, correct me if I'm wrong though. Mine were shipped to me quoted at 25lbs each, so I'm assuming thats what they are. Felt a bit lighter than my stockers but not sure. Check ebay, saw a few sets when I got mine.

 

How much are people paying for these? My friend has a G6 GTP with those wheels, and may consider selling them...

 

yes same bolt pattern, just the back spacing is diff.
like the ss/sc rims need spacers to put them on a ss/tc, so I read on hear.

 

Got mine Ebay $272 shipped

I've got mine mounted now and the spacing seems to be the same from my ss/sc wheels to these, so I imagine all you would need is that spacer to also work with these wheels. I'm guessing that spacer is to fit around the Brembo's?

 

welcome to the club my friend

$272 is a great deal...I paid $550 shipped

 

Thank you sir, will have pics up here in a bit. Yes I thought that too, they had some pretty deep scratches, so I went ahead sanded and sprayed them.

Few quick shots of them mounted:

 

^^^ LOOKS SEXY AS HELL MAN!!!

JUST AS A HEADS UP I"M NOW GOING TO COPY YOU

 

sick car man

 

Lol it all good man, thanks a lot! Love yours too!

Thanks appreciate it!
