Re: Repainted stock rims

This needed a new thread?

Theres at least a dozen older threads that this could have been posted to.

See the thread "New? Read this first!" at the top of this section.

Re: Repainted stock rims

Gamesy,

I'm sorry, but I do not like the rims in bronze color. However, may I suggest that you also coat the lug nuts in the same bronze color as the rims. That will make it look more "finished."
