your opinion on rims im going to paint
i recently bought a new set of rims for my camaro, i plan to dismount the tires off my old ones and paint them. im going to invest in some winter tires because my camaro gets driven year round..mount those on the painted ones and be set for the winter, so they are rims that will only be on the car for 4/5 months. i have a few different options i'd like to take but let me get some of njfboa's opinions.
we are dealing with the stock snowflakes, and its my first time painting but reading up it doesnt seem too difficult..the job will be rattlecanned.
this is the car we are dealing with
can go straight with black
all out gunmetal or gunmetal with the stock lip untouched
kind ricer approaches to follow, (flamesuit on) black with a red lip. picture photoshopped from tech
i always had a thing for gold rims too, but not quite sure how it would look on an f body, i see it on STI's..cant find pics of OEM gold rims on a 4th gen camaro
or i'd like to go with black with a gold lip, but also cant find any good pictures.
any input would be cool good or bad...asked an honest question wouldnt mind honest replies. thanks for the help in advance
Jon

Corvette magnesium wheels were "goldish"
I like the gunmetal/silver. Might look good with the lip untouched.
You should google Plasti-dip, pretty cool stuff.

Damn it.
Its more of a rubber coating. Dries flat and peels off when you are done.

No offense to Madness, but snowflakes on a V6 Camaro ain't no Z06 rims on a C6 Z06 with huge rotors and red calipers.

I understand this. But I was trying to underscore that the color combo might not work as well a different setup.

I did duplicolor's gunmetal wheel paint and it was pretty nice. High gloss black would be nice as well.

I cant find it at the moment but on ls1tech there is a photo taken at nighttime of a black camaro with black snowflakes from the passenger side doing a burnout and it looks really well done possible satin black.

Please let the time-attack style die out. Go with stock or paint them all black.
