as the title says I'm looking to paint my stock rims, as i'm too poor to afford the rims I want at the moment.


best picture I have of my rims at the moment.

any way I was reading some threads where people have used plastidip on them and it looks nice, before I was thinking a few coats of primer and maybe spray on bed liner?
just my thought as of right now, any suggestions or opinions. Thank you very much

 

I think it's Duplicolor that makes a special wheel paint that's a high gloss black. Definately depends what look you're going for. (Gloss back, matte black, etc...)

 

im not 100percent sure what I'm looking for I want a nice black that can occasionally take abuse as on trails or whatever if that is even possbile. I figure to me anything black is nicer then what I have at the moment

 

I have used the dupli color before on my old truck. It worked good and lasted 40xxx miles of abuse. but i did do the primer then i did a truck bed liner for texture then i painted them worked out good and only cost around $60 if i do recall correctly

 

I just use a can of flat black. Clean the rims up good and maybe scuff them up a bit then spray. Done some pretty rough offloading and it holds up. If it starts to come off just re-spray and your on the way

 

hmmm, alright I have a few ideas to consider.

I have another question not knowing much about tires, I figured I would ask the experts

the tires I have are 265/75r16
I just found these on the local craigslist
wildcountry radial rvt 265/75 16 31-10.5-16
was wondering if they would fit on my truck?

Yep. Same size you have now.

 

so that means i should have no problem getting them mounted on my rims?

 

HUH? LOL There the same size as stated.

 

lol alright just making sure, i dont have much money I can spend for a bit until my job starts back up, but I need newer tires, mine dont even have 20% tread left
