those photoshopped Ts1's on that porsche are awesome...maybe thats a real pick....but stock rims powdered coated pink on a blue 370 look awful. Maybe if there were some aftermarket rims with a lip they would look good, like those TS1's

If you like it though thats all that matters.

as long as you don't have them "hellaflush" or whatever that is where the wheels stick out six inches from the body of the car, I say eh, whatever.

If you are willing to paint a set of wheels that is worth $1K, you got to respect that.

I can respect it if it's done properly.

Shoving index cards around the edge and rattle-canning them isn't what I would consider proper.

Single stage or powder coat would be the only ways I would do it.

After that one dude spray-painted his whole Z out in his driveway, suddenly spray-painting track rims seems like an okay idea.

Need more info on this.

Are you talking about the guy that flat-blacked his car?

Yea... that was a terrible idea, I concur.

I have seen guy in the hotrod scene use a paint roller. Take rustolium and thin it down with mineral spirits till the bubbles pop on their own. Roll and let dry. It looks good for a couple years but for a less than $50 paint job it looks pretty good.
