My Custom painted 2GB GSX wheels! (Pics inside)

Did you paint them yourself?

I plan on taking some stock eclipse 2G wheels, throwing the eagle emblems in the centers, and painting them black...might do a pin stripe after seeing yours. Any pointers?

Good job Looks very nice.

Time attack theme is played out IMO. They look nice though.

I think this is one of cleanest stock looking eclipses ive seen, the center caps painted red would add an entire new dimension to the rims tho.....nice job...maybe full car paintjob in the near future?

Ah, yes. The TR-6 and Red Stripes. Those were some days.

really digging the rims bro

I like it a lot. They compliment the car nicely. And a nice car at that. I like the photoshoot pics.

Hey when you clear coated did you have the rim laying down or standing up? In my past exp everytime I tried to clear coat it would leave residue or mess up the paint. Maybe I did it wrong.


Also, red lip would look better on black rims, maybe you should try to chrome out the lip??? It'll look good IMO.

do you happen to have a paint code for the rims? i want to do my aftermarket wheels the same color but polish the lip

They look good. Even the stripe is growing on me, even though I think its cleaner without it.

I just reverted from a similar paint job. I used a similar color, Dark Grey Metallic, with a polished lip on my 2gb gsx wheels. Right now I'm in the process of stripping them back down and I"m going to go back to a nice high gloss silver. I'm trying to appear as stock as possible.
