New shoes on the lightning

[FrenchyZ]

So I did my wheels today and they came out great! I used plastidip until I get 4 new tires and will be doing my wheels gloss black powder coated. Here are some pics...

Never been a fan of black rims. Look like spares from afar.

Everyone has different tastes. Black wheels offers a more aggressive look in my opinion.

Looks good.. My rims are plasti dipped as well an have been for about 2 years..

Dip ur emblems and return the gas door back to silver and it will look much better..

Some will hate the black look, but i like it. That's probably why mine are satin black.

The fuel door is billet aluminum polished.. That's why I dipped it. It came with the truck like that.

Some do and some don't. I don't, but that being said, I hope YOU like it, it is your truck after all. You will never get 100% agreement on anything in the forums.

BTW, next time you do a beauty shot, lose that fugly ball hitch, whew that hurt my eyes.

Agreed.

Coating OEM rims black looks like something a Honda driver would do. It looks more like you're trying to mod something to make it look modded as opposed to actually improving on it's appearance. I also typically find a dropped L sitting on 18's to be unattractive hence it's one of several reasons I keep my trucks stock ride height.

Some pull it off, but most don't. SVT Phillips truck is one of the few I can think of that I actually think looks good with black wheels, but he has a nice stance, and I believe he's rocking 20" replica's.

As others have said though it's your truck so you should mod it how you like.

Mine are just the 18's.. But I'm looking for 99-00 20's but having no luck so ill prolly end up going 01-02 20's..

Did you ever have to re-coat them?

 

[fruhdaddy]

looks good and just like mine except i have 01 wheels

 

[coposrv]

not usually a fan but this looks pretty good. Nice job with it.

 

[FrenchyZ]

This is what it looked liked when I bought it. I changed a few things around that honestly to me makes a big difference.

Nope never recoated them.. I did recently add silver metalizer to give it a slightly different look..

Did you do it on the car or did you take the wheels off to coat them?

I remove the wheels to help prevent overspray from getting on my truck

That's what I did as well but if you look closely when you put the the lug nuts back on and tighten them you can see it twisting the plastidip lol
