So I was cleaning out the garage and getting out my winter rims and figured I wanted something different. So after doing some research I figured that I wanted to get my rims painted black. I know powder coating is the way to go but decided to paint them myself. I did one rim and here is how it came out.....

Before:


After:




I did a lot of prep work and it took almost all day to do one rim. Looking at the finished rim, I felt it needed something else. The time attack theme was a last min thought and threw it on there to see how it would look. What do you guys think? All black or leave the time attack?? I say time attack

 

I'm not much for the black wheel theme but it looks like you did some good solid prep work and got a great looking finish!

 

Thanks..I used Duplicolor and put about 5 -6 coats of primer,black and clear coat. I also had a halogen lite for the heat/ baking effect. Not sure if it helped but I'm happy with the results so far.

 

Looks good! Not sure if I like the red ring though. Post pics of them mounted up on the car...I'm kind of curious as to how black 124's look on a black e60. I've thought about getting mine powder coated gloss black or gloss dark gray

 

This is what they look like....

Final product looks great. Minus the TA.

 

Nice. They look amazing. I am going to do the same for my 124's as soon as I get snow tires.

 

Thanks.. I just finished the other 3 rims and they are now in the process of drying under the halogen lights. I'll post up a few pics later tonight.

 

Congrats! The paint job looks very good and I say yes for the time attack !

 

+1 .. I think the TA looks better on rims with low profile tires.
