My 19" Metallic Black wheels

JOHNBMWM5 · 03-17-2010, 12:51 PM

Here finally got the 19's fitted after Pristine painted them.

What do you guys think, pictures not great.

MMMorish · 03-17-2010, 12:58 PM

Where's the painted part? Are they painted on the inside part of the wheel?

Definitive · 03-17-2010, 01:01 PM

Yea, Looks stock??? Maybe some close ups?

rockd · 03-17-2010, 01:05 PM

The barrel and inside lips look like they're painted gloss black. Nice touch, but most people wouldn't ever notice that...

needspeed · 03-17-2010, 01:06 PM

It is subtle but I think it makes the spokes really pop.....Steve

eclipsisNA · 03-17-2010, 01:08 PM

That's really subtle. I think taking a picture of the wheel's interior would show off the paint best.

mexicanmike · 03-17-2010, 01:11 PM

I was expecting black rims......That being said...the contrast that is provided is subtle, but def noticeable if you are looking, and it looks good.

T89 · 03-17-2010, 01:23 PM

Not really feeling it. Would have left it stock. But that's just me.

Ok A Close Up.

Nice & subtle, looks good mate

Careful John, once the mod bug bites the bitch don't let go

MMMorish · 03-17-2010, 02:15 PM

I think it's very subtle, but I like it a lot. I personally wouldn't do it, but since it was a gift, can't go wrong.

Na mate I am being "Conservative"

I am like you give it a year or so and the feet start to itch

xsilvor · 03-17-2010, 02:36 PM

Haha, I have to admit I'm pretty jealous you beat me to it.

I pick mine up in.... an hour and a half. I did the same thing, though mine are a matte black powder coat.

It looks good!

My shop offered to coat the whole thing black if it turned out I did not like the way it the design turned out, but I'm feeling pretty confident now

Green///Hell · 03-17-2010, 03:44 PM

Love the contrast gives the rims a very aggressive look for OEM

PIMP "E" · 03-17-2010, 04:36 PM

its really hard to tell that is not OEM. it looks really clean

SS32 · 03-17-2010, 04:51 PM

It looks good, but I just don't understand why anyone would go to the trouble of doing that when the OEM finish is dark as is.

rjd598 · 03-17-2010, 04:58 PM

gti rip off?

klammer · 03-17-2010, 05:05 PM

Much better than an all black rim.
