I want black rims and I was wondering if people thought mine would look good painted black (trying to save money) or if I should save up and get some Cragar soft 8s or something.

Heres a pic of my XJ (I now have 5% tint on all windows)

Yea i think those would look sweet black,i never liked the silvery stock color of them

I my self would just buff them out to a nice shine, and a shot of clear coat over them.

it will look good, I did it to my 93 sport with the same rims.. I left the small lip silver so it came out nice.. Just take your time a prep good.

Personally I think no. If its going to be that flat black its so over used its not even funny, but if you refinish them with something like charcoal with a metalic flake it looks really good. I did it on my 99, if you want to see some before and after pictures check out my album.

I painted mine black and left the lip silver and then clearcoated everything and get a lot of compliments on them.

What did you paint them with? Just wondering.

that looks like a 99-04 mustang scoop on the hood. is it?

Ya, it would look awsome but make sure you take the time to prep and make sure it looks good cuz I have seen a ton of painted black rims that look like s**t!

(coughs) powdercoat

im in the process of painting mine black, go for it its an easy cheap thing to do

agreed.

I used wheel paint have used it on other vehicles and it's holds up to chipping pretty well also used the same wheel clear on the front header panel to keep it from chipping

I think it's a mopar scoop bought it at a car show from some guy selling it on the side
