Painted Stock Wheels
#101
I think teal like mine or white would pop on your Orange Fit. Play around in Photoshop or GIMP a little to try different colors. That's what I did when I was deciding, and they came out pretty closely to what I mocked up.

I actually wanted an white 08 sportie too. but they didnt offer it, I've driven pretty much white cars. Your tw Fit looks great, and the rims just set it off.

Is it possible to get this finnish with 4 coats of spray cans from autozone or napa. With a couple of coats of clear? Anybody?
So far I got 2 people saying use a spray can, 1 powder coating - havent found anyone yet that does powder coating. I live in cleveland, Ohio

Oh Well
I sanded them up,vac and tacked them, and sprayed them with a can. Alittle darker then I wanted them, but me like um. As the saying goes let the chipping begin. But I need two tires 2 replace the 2 bald ones. Suggestions?

Spring Break Shop Week
Put on JDM Tails, Window Visors, and plasti-dipped my rims flat black. I did each installation a different day, but three days in a row. I love the finished product, and have lots more modding to come Here are some pics, sorry if they are huge.

Also, could you take some close up pics of the plasti dipped wheels for those of you all who used that stuff. I'd like to see a clearer picture.

Those are definitely pretty sweet looking and for a cheap price. I'll definitely be giving that a shot within the next week or two. Very busy during the week and such so it will have to be on a weekend. I'll upload pics when it's done. I have the 09 orange car so I'm curious to see how the black wheels will look with the black tinted windows and such.

Glad you just posted that, I want to plasti dip mine in black, but was looking for someone else to try it first . Where do you all get this Plasti Dip stuff from?

The sun is hitting the wheels here
The next two pics resemble the true color of the wheels, no sun hitting them, no color modifications to the pictures besides the vignette:
When you finish make sure to upload some pics and let me know how it went!

Well, if you aren't taking your wheels off, there's no way to take out the center cap, however, if you take gour wheels of, just push the center cap out from the side opposite the "H" logo. Once the paint dries push the center cap back in from the H logo. Push on the H logo to get it back in. Might need a forceful push. GL and make sure to upload pics!

I still have not quite figured out how to upload pics. The only thing I see says to Paste the URL. I cant figure out how to upload straight from my computer....Anyone know how?

Thanks, man. I really have no desire to get rid of them, though. I like the look, and those snow tires are still new. I hope to make them last a few years.

Well I figured I asked lol, I wouldn't want ur snow tires anyway cause I'm in Florida lol but damn I'm in love! Just might have to get them done one day
