OEM 19's Painted What do you think?

alright well heres the story I bought the car with the 19's on them and I had to replace the tires and there was a lot of curbage on them. So i went out and bought donz 20's and in the meantime i took the 19's to work sandblasted them and got them painted bronze with a tint of gold to it. I was wondering what do you guys think?

I think gold would have looked better. I almost bought some OEM 19s to paint gold. I Photoshopped them on my car.



Take some better shots of them on your car and post 'em up!

PS - slap some spacers on!

i took them to my job sandblasted them with the finest sand (almost like flour). Then i took them to my friends shop where he sells doors and windows and paints for costumers if they want to (almost a spray booth) and i bought the paint and sprayed them myself. So in the long run it cost me 86 dollars (just for paint)

looks great man! Like the other guys said need spacers.
How did you got rid of the curb rash? can the sandblaster take that out? or did you sand it down yourself?

Well then, cheap and effective. Def a nice job! Now all I have to do is pick a complementing color to the Garnet Fire. Shouldn't be hard tho, every time I catch a glimpse of her I can't help but stare....
