Has any one painted stock wheels to look more aggresive? if so do you have a picture? Im new to dodge- i had a ranger that i painted the wheels(see link) and they looked pretty good so im trying to ad some flare to the ram too.

Paint + Chrome never works real well....unless you bake it on or unless you scuff it and use some really good adhesion promoter.

 

I have no problem sandblasting them down. just i donno if i wanna paint just rim and leave "spokes" or part of "spokes" or the whole thing
click the Link to see the wheels that are on the ram.

Ahh, you don't have chrome ones. You shouldn't have a problem then. Personally, I don't like the look of painted rims on a truck. I do however like the look of chrome (only on a truck).

 

chrome wont get you home tho

 

huh? [>:]

My chrome has 141,000 miles on it. I'd say it's gotten me home more than a few times

 

Its a offroading phraze why put money in to shiney stuff if its gonna be not so shiney after mudding- i see the fact of when it is clean but i personaly perfer flat colors- but what do i know this is my first nice daily driver this is my old ride http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...a/100_0123.jpg

 

I like Chrome because it can take a beating. The chrome 16s on my truck are factory equipment (12 years old, part of the SLT package), and they look like the day the rolled off the assembly line (except for where the wheel weights have been. [>:] I've had them in the slop already...and they always come out clean as a whistle.

I would never actually SPEND money on it. No aftermarket chrome for me.

My other truck has painted steelies on it, and all those things seem to do is rust out...never been happy with them. Too bad I can't get rims like it has on it anymore [>:]

 

Ive never owned crome so i cant say but if they came stock i would back them up. I gess it also depends on the application if your more of a show truck think C.P. is the way to go but if your more of an offroader Id say go for beadlocks and teflon- but im to poor to afford that rite now

 

If you do paint them, please post pics of it.
