I thought the rims looked better Gold. I wouldn't have painted them though, GTA rims are ment to be gold. But since you went black polish the lip like everyone said.

And invest in a real jack to avoid using the foctory one....

GTA rims are known for being gold like deadtrend said, you could have traded them for plain trans am rims which are black stock and wont chip/peel, but :shrug:

i thought they were blue too, but then i thought maybe there was something wrong with my eyes :shrug:

It could just be a combination of the light they are in and crappy paint.

i still cant believe you wasted those GTA rims. Any future car mods that you do, must not be done unless you consult with me....... :)

it was matt actually. Why? what did you do with the rims I sold you ... haha

matt,
As long as you get the paint off the lip at least, that would be fine pending you prepared the crosslace surface well enough that the paint will last on it.

before u do anything else you should consult someone, anyone, you seem to always be un-doing things that were bad ideas from the begining

Well, they are on the car, sitting there. I just thought maybe it had something to do with them not being utilized well. I haven't done anything to them....

Relax guys, its not the end of the world, like all of you seem to make of it, its just paint..and the wheels were nothing so even If they were fed up that bad its not like id take a big hit. ... alot of you need to lighten up..

WayFast84 05-06-2006 12:31 PM

black? or gold?

trashman01 05-06-2006 05:40 PM

black but for ur paint go gold

WayFast84 05-06-2006 09:59 PM

i think im going to go graphite, it almost matches my car color exzactly in the shade its dead on in the sun its a little dark, if I dont like it on one whell Ill just respray it black, or if theirs any wheel paint thats gold.

BobonaStick 05-07-2006 02:10 AM

Heh... and you were mocking my headlight set up? Someone should take that car from you before you ruin it anymore... I think my 88 GTA looks better then that... yukk... and clean that damn engine bay out...

WayFast84 05-07-2006 07:35 AM

IDK what the **** your talking about!! youve never ever seen the car in person, like i said you all need to lighten the **** up...phsshh Ill ruin my car more.. you never seen pics from what it looked like from the begining have you? Never knew the problems it had, and what is exzactly done to it....I never mocked your headlights, i just simply said I dont like them.

trashman01 05-07-2006 03:06 PM

matt calm down man. u have 2 years b4 u get ur license to kill, i mean drive. get some stripper on the lips, take off the paint and polish. it isnt hard, my rims werent bad so i just used #0000 steel wool and hit em with mothers and then put a coat of wax on em. and they shine real nice. also be4 u paint a surface(like the spokes) scuff them up a lil bit, throw down a primer then scuff the primer up and throw down the coat of paint. i've done enough rim restore(between dusters, 79 trans ams, etc) this **** is mind numbing

maroman88 05-07-2006 11:29 PM

try a power washer if the paint really sucks itll all come right off and hopefully u can be back to where u started with a NIIICEEEEEE set of gold GTA rims
