Good to hear, thanks.

Well they would be sweet until you bit into the rubber.

Painted black GT rims looked great on my DHG Bullitt! I used them for the track only and the paint chipped a bit, but otherwise good.

i was thinking of powder coating my stock rims too for abit, until i can get my real rims. but then i found out about plasti dip . spray it on ur wheels.. and if you dont like it... you can juss peel it off clean.. and it looks great.. can't even tell the difference. and you dont have to worry about over spray lol.... check out a video on it....

Those do look good. I've got the Bullitt wheels but I've never seen them completely black including the lip, I think it will look ok.

I'm just not sure how well the plastidip will hold up. I can try it I guess.

thas wat i thought as well too.. but with further research i found out its really hard to chip and dosn't fade at all... it will hold up to the wheel until you take it off.

I just did some digging on it as well and I'm going to give it a try. It's a pretty easy process so what the heck. I found a few good tips like putting the lug nuts in the lug holes before painting them so that if you ever remove the wheels the paint won't tear.

yea give it a try.. worst case u can juss simply peel it off its alot easier then powder coating, you dont even have to take the tire off the wheel..... upload some pics wen you have them done.... i will b doing mine as well later this month .. i'll post some of my pictures up as well.. hope it turns out nice :) goodluck!
