Are you going to do it your self or have it done?
And do you have a paint equip, or do you plan to rattle can it?

[bearcat91]

I plan on getting them blasted and painting my self....I know people with booths but it'll be my first time with a gun.

If you're using a gun, you can order TW
or through a paint shop, they can get that color, or do their rendition of the color.

TW luckily isn't terribly hard to do.

Make sure you clear them
It'll help keep them clean, and make them look good.

Oh and I say do white with the white ep.

i would do black just because i think the contrast would look better and white wheels would probably be a bitch to keep clean. if you color match to TW though they could look ultra bitchin. the biggest thing is they won't look good in any color if done wrong, but it sounds like you're gonna do it legit with the sandblasting and paint gun. just make sure to keep em waxed afterward so the dirt and brake dust is easier to clean off and won't damage the clearcoat.

Sinci its a 2 piece look alike, if I find an easy way to cover all the lil screws I might to white with polished lip. If not the sprayin it all black!

[bearcat91]

This is them now...can't really see the lil "screws" but get the point

[boricua4life]

i say paint them bronze but then again i would opt out for the black also.

[mitchlikesbikes]

all black would look titties on those wheels.
not sure how the white would turn out.

[PatrickJamesYu]

even some of the fake 2 piece look alike wheels, have removable screws
Check, they might be.

Really?? Cool ill check it out thanks! Would I put clear over w.e I decide to polish? Or keep it masked off and keep up on polishing?

[krod]

i would go black,think it would look sick

[bearcat91]

All black or black with polished lip and screws?

[bearcat91]

Iv decided to do black with polished lip and Screws. If I sand blast the entire wheel, how hard will it be to bring the lip back to a polish?

[mitchlikesbikes]

it'll probably be a bitch to polish back up. if you do a couple layers of masking tape over the lip it should keep the sandblaster from ruining the polished finish. not sure what you could do about the screws though
