From Magazine....to Supra

[theKnifeArtist]

i was reading a magazine and i saw some real nice black rims with a red lip. and then it clicked.

i think they look awesome! what you do you think?
i was planning on gettin them repowdercoated later anyway..
does anyone know if i can pull this off without repowdercoat?

looks hot, i say go for it..

 

[BorHor]

Thats nice! I should do something like that.. but like gunmetal in the middle with gay blue side lol

 

[Dachande]

I don't like them.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

is there any kind of paint like how that one guy used that yellow acrilic paint for his fogs..but for something like this?..you know..prep and apply it with a small brush

 

[SupraJDS]

That would look great....good Idea man.

 

[RazoE]

tape + spray paint = profit

 

[empera]

if u like it...do it

 

[theKnifeArtist]

you think spray paint would work? by work i mean not look like shit and last longer than a week. i should sand it before i do it right? what grit? what about that rustoleum nonspray paint, would that work applied with a brush?

Hmm...what about with burgundy on the lip and black in the middle or someother color that would go well with burgundy.

The duplicolor rim paint from autozone works wonders and lasts a long time I have there metalcast on my blue rims right now and had there plain gunmetal on the blades.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

thanks, i'm gonna give it a shot with the duplicolor when i get a chance.

They'd look better left all black, the red lip just doesn't do it for me but its a style thing.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

well i dunno if you know, but right now the lip is powercoated color chrome..which really just looks silverish..

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

I love it.

I've always loved the red/black super advans but on Stock Supra wheels? Not feelin it. Looks cheap.

I would be ok with painting the red lip portion a grey color maybe though... Red stands out too much and says HEY LOOK AT MY STOCK WHEELS. COOOOOOOOOOL.

I feel the same about red paint on the stock brake calipers of most cars. Why attract attention to your puny unimpressive stock brakes.

Super Advan SA3R is the only wheel so far that I've seen pull off the red/black scheme. Everything else doesn't look nearly as good to me.

I have a set coming for my Supra. Can't wait.

you almost just changed my mind.
i thought about it, and thought, maybe he's right..but then i thought..
I had these wheel powdercoated and had them taped off to powdercoat with a chrome paint, a "fake" lip. so i guess i already broke the seal of modifing "stock" wheels to make them look more up to date and attractive. so far i've had nothing but positive comments with my powdercoated wheels, more than i really expected because it was just a budget project. Putting that to mind and how much this idea appealed to me when i photoshoped it, im gonna still go ahead with the operation.
