I was wondering if anybody could photoshop the picture of the above car but only with yellow around the outside of the rims and outline of the the middle that looks like a star ? cant think of what to call it but anybody that would do that would be awesome and greatly appreciated thanks:hail:

i painted mine before a silver it looks like chrome from a distance and it is holding up awesome i just used a can of spray paint cleand of real good sainded a little and taped them off and put a clear coat when i was done the only problem is the stupid brake dust
whatever the guy used to paint my car is the same on my rim. i think it was a two step paint (base, clearcoat) It holds up ok....a few chips but there easy to clean with just the same stuff i use for the car.

Yeah, paint them red and yellow and then put a huge McDonald's arch on your hood

if you want thenm to look nice take a rag and paint thiner and go around the edges like i did . i had those grey wheeels on mine and wanted it to be different then all the other camaros here in town. it takes alittle longer to do but looks better i think

Here's a red Rs with black rims, this guy used black engine paint to paint his rims, he said he just put masking tape over the aluminum that he wanted to stay silver, and he did a good job on em, and they look pretty good. His wife on the other hand (in the background) had seriously about 2 teeth she was horrid.

It's getting very annoying seeing pictures posted that have been just scanned in or edited that are massive in size when they don't need to be. It's just a simple extra little step to crop the picture or resize it.
