Painted my stock rims black.

mustanginca · May 18th, 2008, 10:46 PM

Just go through painting my stock rims black. Just looking for a subtle personal touch. Can't really tell unless you know what your looking for. I like them. Getting a closer look at my rims the previous owner had trouble parking around curbs. So I figured if I messed them up I wasn't really losing anything. A lot of work for a little detail but I think they came out nice. They should look good with a black brembo brake kit behind them.

I just used auto paint. Used a two stage black and clear. It's the matching paint for the rest of the car. I'll see how it lasts. Thanks for the compliments.

yea, it looks badass, but you are in desperate need of some wet tire.

Yeah I took that pic just after I got done. I don't really like shinning the stock tires. I do it occasionally but not enough to get that shine. It's my daily driver so it's way to hard to keep them shinning.

texas_mustang · May 18th, 2008, 11:30 PM

haha, dude... meguires hot tire shine. its in a spray bottle. it takes like 5 seconds per tire and it shines for 2 weeks.

It looks good, but you're not fitting any brembo brakes behind those rims.

texas_mustang · May 18th, 2008, 11:49 PM

yea, whats the largest size you can fit on the stock rims, like 11"?

Jucostud · May 18th, 2008, 11:53 PM

stock brakes are around 12.4 and 11.8. with the stock 17in rims, you're not going any bigger than 13" brakes.
