mmm, gold rims so sweeeeet

[Huffer]

Are the white ones RS wheels?

[NewGenSTi]

where did you get that gold paint? do you have a code for it? I cant find a nice looking gold paint for the life of me. lol all the stuff they show me in teh books looks like it has been @*%! on

mmmmmm..... white RS wheels! those look the sex! I want to paint mine before I get the next set of tires mounted, but I heard the finish doesn't really stay on unless you really keep after it.

-i found the recipe on nasioc.com
i bought it from BIG LOTS, called gold metallic.
-trust me....looks 10x better in the sun :twisted:
Huffler
-these are the RS rims i posted up for sale, i didn't
get a reasonable offer so i'm keeping them for myself :twisted:
Plays_with_Toys
-just painting rims will eventually flake off...i decided,
200 each set on powder coating or 50 bucks on paint and my time?
it's just something for now....i'll post up pictures as soon as my new
tires are on there way 8)

Hmm, so that is just spray can gold? Interesting. they look nice

And BTW As soon as I get the OK from REASON I am going to be setting up a group discount on powdercoating because I just got access to an extremly large oven.. I am yet to find a nice gold powdercoat either though. I am waiting on some samples from companies now. but the last couple I tried were not the gold I was looking for

[NewGenSTi]

Also for everyones information if you get the rims professionally painted like with a real spray gun and clear coat they actually hold up pretty good. The factory STi wheels are paint!

WHAT?!? I posted in your thread for pics, and you didn't supply any, so I didn't make an offer. :roll:

Mount the gold......White rims are queer.

:lol:
I vote for gold too ;-)

[mr_choung]

sorry Huffler for not posting up...as that time was...i really needed it gone...but if i decided to sell them....i'll give you the best deal you'll find around! 8)
-thanks guys for all the remarks...and YES IT'S SPRAY CAN PAINT JOB :lol:
-i'd wish i could powder coat them which last 10x longer but it's only temp.
i'm still debating which to ride on...planning to throw my azenis on the rs for some autox fun...and goldies for show....who knows :-D i'll post pictures by this weekend....btw..my new tires arrived....kumho 711's for 230 shipped! :twisted:

I say go for the gold! I was going to do the same thing for my legacy! I guess I found the right place to read about it. I was just thinking of getting another pair of OEM rims and powder coating them too.

Group discount? I live in Monroeville, PA. That's not TOO far away from scranton...
