Wheel paint

[mopar_4life]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has painted a set of rally wheels like this. I was considering painting the wheels the body color. It's a 65 DD paint code (Medium blue)... (Sorry about the crude photoshop...) If you have would you all post any pictures. I just don't know how it would look on a C body.

I've painted Road Wheels.

Are you looking for advice on painting wheels or the color change you've posted?

Just wondering if there are anyone who has painted these types of wheels. I would like to paint my wheels the same color as the car. Then still use the trim rings and center cap. I figure it would give a good clean/custom look. I'll edit my post to be more specific, reading it now it seems very vague.

Something like this.

You might want to consider painting just the dome instead.

Not a mopar thing and won't be well accepted by most Mopar faithful who see it .. not just here. But do what you want it's your car.

I'm not a fan personally but that's just me.

Here's a nice 67 wagon, but no Body Color rims, but they'd be the first Thing to get lost for my taste.

Oh and this too. but again it's your car. If using factory wheels only use factory wheels correct for the year and model

On a wagon, I would also get rid of it asap.....

I don't hate it... BTW here's the pic... I don't think I would do it unless they were the only wheels I had,

way better than some I've seen.

Paint is up to you, but I think tallhair is correct about the purists, and the purists will be lukewarm at best on the wheel choice. That said, it's your car, it reversible and causes no permanent damage... do what you like. I mostly like the availability of 15X7's... Or you could get some wheel covers... they seem to be dying out and I bet in a number of years will be that much harder to find. They are bound to become popular again as so few cars are built with them these days.

That 67 looks pretty good... dunno if I'd drop 5 grand on a wagon but probably would if it were as solid as that *looks*. Agreed tho, those particular rims never look right to me on a C body. .. certainly not a slab side. ... first step would be black steelies followed by a long and careful search for a fitting cap/cover.

Esp with a deeper blue car..
