Looking to grab a used set of Black Chrome Work T1s wheels but would like to paint the face more of a gunmetal grey. Along the lines of a burning black finish although I know it won't look quite the same. Just wondering if that was possible and if they would come out looking good or would it be a horrible idea? Also where would I be able to have that done? I'm in the NorCal area. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Why not keep them black chrome? That's a great and rare color.

 

I dunno, feel like they are too blinged out for my taste. Wanted to find a set of burning black t1s but seems impossible. Not only that, but in the specs I want as well.

If I grab this set, I may just roll around with it to see if I like it.

 

What are the specs

 

Get any color you want just so long as you get it done professionally. Keep in mind doing so will lower the resale value on a great set of wheels.

 

20 x 9.5 +0 R disk F 20 x 10.5 +0 O disk R

 

I know, that's why I'm a little hesitant and wondering if I should just wait.

 

Yes, you can paint the faces, just have to do a lot of masking. It's all about the prep work either way and a high quality shop that does custom paint work will be able to accomplish this for you.

For example:


But yes, no matter what you do to them you'll likely lower the value of them in doing so. If you plan to keep them for a while longer once they're redone then that shouldn't matter to you, but if you're trying to refinish them in order to keep them fresh / interesting to you, I'd recommend selling them now and finding something else. Good chance just a repaint won't do it for you long term if you're in that boat. Good luck either way.

 

honestly such a great color as the black chrome would be a shame to see it wasted. Keep the color or sell the wheels.
