I'd like some suggestions on what to do to these rims. I'm tired of trying to keep them clean by polishing them (clear coat stripped, it was horrible looking), polish/cleaner doesn't even do much for them. Has anyone painted them, in various configurations even, to make them look ok. I don't have money for a new set of rims right now, so I'd like to try and make these look the best they can.

edit: Also, I'd rather not reallllly polish them, ie sand and polish, not just the cleaner/polish compound that I use now. Too much work.

 

Well, I suppose you could try to trade them or sell them. Painting them takes some prep for the paint to stick, I don`t think it would work very well. I`m thinking you may have to "etch" the wheels with acid to get them porous enough for paint to stick and if you don`t like it your stuck with 1 strange looking wheel. I suppose you could try painting them without the prep just to see how it would look and remove the paint if you don`t like it. Your best bet, see if you can trade them for wheels you like. In my area we have a newspaper type of thing (The Recycler) that has only adds that are free to place and if you have something like it in your area give it a try.
