You can paint the non chrome ones no problem. The rims I started with were the brushed finish rims and the paint has been on there for almost a year now with no problems.

 

Yes you can paint them. If going flat black I'd probably have a shop do it. Since there can't be any protective finishes applied to it, they have to be done right to prevent fading/chipping. Also have to take them off during winter, and not use any wheel cleaners.

 

RH, BROTHER!! Don't do that man! As far as painting them it shouldn't be a problem if the are painted now. And why you asking for advice on painting?? With all the stuff you have painted on your truck you won't have a problem. But My opinion on those rims is...THEY SUCK! Sorry but thats my . Let me correct myself and say I think they would suck on your truck.

 

I just told him the same thing on PM. I don't know what dodge was thinking when they changed from the 08 style to the 09 style rims.

 

no dont go that route 09 rims are fugly find some 07 theres a guy locally who had a set for 650....

 

to paint those i would just use teach's diy and it should work fine.

 

Teaches are clear coated

As for the 09 wheels, they ones in the link are ugly.

I like these ones though. Too bad they're chrome

yes i know that i meant for how to do it...

 

If I was you RH, I would go with a set of 3rd gen 20's if you have your heart set on a set of stock rims to paint. Those 09's are not a good looking rim.
