RIms for an 01 GT - Toyota Celicas

Shlahr · 01-12-2013, 03:00 PM

Well I'm running low on money, due to maintenance on my car. so now it better last me till i die.

Anyway.

I have stock celica rims and it color is coming off and it just looks brutal, has anyone ever painted there own rims? with a different color? I would buy new ones its just i'm short on money and i want to do it now rather then later so i can do some upgrading to my engine.

Thanks!

yea great way to save some cash on rims. just take them off, clean them, if you don't mind dents and dings you don't have to fill it in with any body filler, then sand it back, and paint it. plasti dip is what a lot of people do now because its removable. any rattle can should do a decent job.

I did that to my wheels it came out clean I used a high heat engine enamel paint so they don't peel or the paint melts the key to doing it is sanding it down really well lay a primer a paint and then clear coat
