just put on this set of painted black 17's i had the same ones before just didnt wanna paint on mine just incase i want to sell it some day.. i think it looks really good

props to niknyce for selling them to me
before


after

 

these are painted? i wouldve powdercoated them, i dont like that flat black look, gloss black powdercoat wouldve turned out better.

 

do you live in or near middleboro. i've seen that car with those plates at the fireside and Stop and shop. i remeber the plates being Fire Fighter plates

 

haha no i live in franklin ive never been to middleboro with my car at least.. idk maybe somebodys pretending to be me

i agree with you this winter im gonna have them repainted professionally and i would get them powder coated but i dont drive my car in the winter so paint is fine i guess thanks for the input tho man

 

Looks fantastic!

 

i want!!! haha looks good

 

Looks sweet man! I painted my rims this past sat. With some help that is! https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/general-cobalt-68/weekend-project-complete-122066/

 

Are those polished aluminum ones that you painted?

 

yeah well i didnt paint them.. i bought them bc i didnt want to ruin mine incase i want to sell it someday

thanks man urs came out awsome.. next we both gotta get the black headlights (and or paint the chrome imo it looks tacky with out chrome wheels) and it will look amazinggggggggggggggg haha

 

looks good. but i think they would be the sex if they were glossy

 

I would like to know who painted them and how. If they are the polished aluminum; I was always told you can't paint 'em without having them heavily sandblasted with plastic pellets...

 

Soooooooo much better....

 

looks good man... cant beat that deal lol. now im fucked for winter haha... car looked super clean in person had that victory red beamin!!!!

 

paint ur calipers red, thats what im gonna do. it will look hot

 

yeah, you gotta be careful with the paint too because every stock rim has clear laquor on it and the paint chips off easily...but yeah, it looks good but id definately do powdercoat bud, and yeah paint your calipers, i did mine about 4 months ago and it looks great.

there is no clear on the rims they were all sanded down alot before painted... i had them on for a while and drove to north carolina from here back with them... no chips besides where the lugs are

 

Yeah ill be painting the headlights black real soon. You should come up this way sometime for a meet. Some of us get together thursday nights at kimballs farm in westford for their huge cruise night.

 

Sex!!!!!!!!!

 

instead of painting the headlights, you should just smoke out the stock ones. i had a red balt with black rims and headlights. after seeing some nicely smoked stock headlights, i would have rather gone that direction.

 

Looks good, just IMO needs a slight drop. The gap bettween the wheel wells looks bigger now.

 

where in MA are you?

 

im out of franklin


ill be up in epping this friday for the street night

lol yeah idk its low for NE roads i bet that Florida roads have way less bumps and potholes

 

looks very very good.... what kind of paint did you use?

 

We have are fair share of pot holes and under maintanced roads just like every where else, Just got to watch out while driving, makes for a fun ride to work
