Help Needed to remove shiny strip on wheel
Hey guys, hoping there is one of you out there who is more creative than me.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I get get rid of the strip that runs around the inside of my wheels? The wheels were put on by Toyota before I bought the car so I didn't really have a choice, I like the design just not the shiny strip. I thought of trying to spray it black with either plastidip or paint but I think it will be hard to get a nice finish due to it being quite deep into the rim behind the spokes. And yes I know the fitment needs some work but It's getting addressed soon. Any opinions welcome Thank you. |

Have your wheels professionally painted.
Get them powder coated. Do you know how to anodize aluminum? There are so many options. |

Plastidip should work. Plenty of diy videos on youtube.
