That looks GREAT!

I'm about to get a set of those wheels for my T2. It would seem as though that guy's curb hated the T2 rims even more than I did...



I'm thinking of flat or satin black with a red lip. (just the small lip though, nothing inside the rim like the first photochop pic)

BigTurbo74 04-22-2004 02:30 PM

so are you going to try to polish the small lip or the insides of the vents on the rims? or just leave it all black?

FlukeSDS 04-22-2004 02:37 PM

I would polish just the outer lip.

OMG...now im confused.



Fluke: I wasn't trying to be rude to you, I just wanted to know who BigTurbo's question was aimed at



BigTurbo: If you were asking me, then no, I wouldn't polish anything. I would first paint the small outer lip red to match my calipers, tape the rim off, and then paint the spokes and inside of the rim satin black.

lol I know you weren't being rude, I was actually trying to not "confuse" you ...

Mission Failed lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

its cool....OJ and Tequila on a thursday afternoon often leads to confusion.

anyway, whats to be afraid of when painting GXL rims? Im gettin mine for $30 a piece. If i don't like em, I can always sandblast em and start over.

I'm just a very paranoid person when it comes to doing anything to anything lol. You should've seen me while I was modding my xbox.
