Painted Rally wheels
 

Im about to redo a set of Factory rally wheels and I am trying to decide if I want to match the truck color or go back with the factory grey. Anyone have any pics of painted rally wheels that match the truck color?

Granted I am going to do a two tone with white on bottom and on the roof, red everywhere else. Otherwise, I feel it is too much red if the truck is all red and wheels are red as well. Painting the wheels sets off a two tone to me, but goes overboard if truck is a solid color. That is simply my opinion though, everyone has one. Ultimately it is what you like ;)

It was funny when I painted them. I did it on a weekend and when my painter seen them on monday his words were "wow, did you just grab red off the shelf? that color looks better." All I did was mix the factory color, the red on the poor old truck is so far gone it is very very dark.

here are my black ones

I went a different route with color, I wanted the wheels to be the color of the "accent" color that I went with. The truck will be flat black with grabber green pin stripes.

Nice
Whats your tire combo

Re: Painted Rally wheels
 

when you go to do a set of wheels, what is the best process to use for prep work? My wheels are currently black, and Id like to go back with either a gloss black, or argent gray. I dont want it to come out looking bad two weeks after its finished.

I'd say to have them sand blasted if at all possible, they are a huge pain in the a** to sand. Add some etching primer, them sandable primer of your choice, add paint and you are done. Base/clear works just fine to paint wheels, should last as long as the paint on the truck if you prep them right!

15x8 front and rear(looking for 15x6 van rallies now) with 295/50/15 rear and 225/70/15 fronts(I think, I will double check later).

Oh and that is a shot of the "high" side bc the passenger side sits 1" higher than the driver side for some reason. I haven't looked into it yet but it drives me nuts when I look at it!!

I've got a pair of black rally's with all the chrome trim... I think black looks great on them.

I think you sold me with the blazer jdurant. The wheels and headlight surrounds in the matching color look great. Damn shame you smashed it.

You nailed it with the white walls man!! That look is spot on!!

Re: Painted Rally wheels
 

Do you have some pictures of the flat green truck? What color green is it?

Re: Painted Rally wheels
 

my truck is in pieces right now lol but the green is this shade kinda hard to see

Re: Painted Rally wheels
 

Here's a few pix.. if your still interested.. My dad had 10' deep rally's, but when i got the truck.. I couldn't afford the fat set of tires to replace on em.. so i opted to go bck to original...can you believe I found a set (off of two different trucks of course) from a junk-yard... with caps for 100 bucks. I scuffed em and found a matching paint color (spray can) from AutoZone... not too shabby.. huh? :metal:

Re: Painted Rally wheels
 

^^That looks good. I always like golds and browns on these trucks.??

Thanks. I'll get it back together eventually--hopefully. I've got most of the parts, just need the time. Oh, and less projects.

I hope the masses aren't getting tired of this pic. I wish it looked like this:

old chop I did awhile back. I should go back in and fix a couple of things, if I'm gonna keep posting this.

Re: Painted Rally wheels
 

I just put mine on today. When I got the truck it had wheel covers on it. The rally's I picked up needed repainting anyway so I decided to match the truck trim color. The center cap emblems had no paint left on them so I decided to try painting them too. I'm too impatient to mask them off perfectly but it's good enough for me.

I did a photoshop of the wheels and headlight surrounds. Copyright goes to Keith Seymore from this board for the truck pic.
