Who has painted stock rims silver? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Maverick22 · 12-01-2013, 10:43 PM

are those rattle canned or powdercoated?

hushypushy · 12-05-2013, 06:42 PM

I definitely want to do this; I can't stand the stock two-tone.

My only concern is what to do with the center caps, because they're black. On black/grey it looks fine (because it matches the car, as shown above) but my FR-S is silver, so I'm concerned the black center caps will stick out like crazy...

Lets see this on CBS/Raven!

another pic.

all we did was sand down the wheels with scotchbrites. cleaned with lacquer thinner. primed, spray painted, and cleared. We did this back in june i or july and no scratches or peels yet.

wow that looks a lot better than the way they came from the factory.I amd still not a fan of the stock wheels tho.Although all silver looks better

I feel like these wheels would look great if they were all polished alloy (like the face is stock). Silver paint just isnt as nice as polished metal.

Ok, this pic alone sold me on what colour I want my FRS (if I indeed get an FRS) to be.

Definitely painting my wheels this weekend!

bestwheelbase · 12-21-2013, 01:22 PM

Yeah, these look so much better all silver!

z3ro · 12-21-2013, 01:37 PM

Any DIY on this? What kind of paint was used? How many coats? SO MANY QUESTIONS!

BRZFern · 07-24-2014, 12:11 AM

Is there any way to just get the black out of the wheels, so they're all silver?

Lonewolf · 10-18-2014, 10:26 PM

Bump for newbs...
