Painted Irocs

Well I picked up some single line Irocs in a trade. They weren't in the greatest of shape but still very usable. They just needed to be painted and/or refinished. So I had an idea in my head to do them gunmetal and flat black. Ive gotten one completely done so far. the rest will be finished tomorrow.(Keep in mind the tires will be changed on these) Well here are everyones favorite things, PICTURES!!!! Lol

Re: Painted Irocs

Thanks man. I can't wait to get them mounted on my 245's! It'll look so much better then the 215's they are on now.

Re: Painted Irocs

Thanks guys. It really does compliment the teal nicely. Unfortunately, I am going to have to repaint them. They look good in pictures but they aren't up to my standards, and the paint is chipping off already and I don't even have them mounted yet.

Re: Painted Irocs

The colors look good, I like the subtle contrast. Highlights the design of the wheel, something all black wheels have a hard time doing. If you're doing them over and they're an extra set, I'd ditch the wheel weights before painting them again. When you get new tires, have them put the weights on the inside lip of the wheel.

Re: Painted Irocs

I actually took the wheel weights off of all of the other wheels before I painted them. I completely forgot about the one lol. As soon as I am feeling better, they will be repainted. Thanks again for all of the compliments. I will keep everyone updated!
