Spraypaint hubcaps or steelies

i wouldnt spray the hubcaps.... theyre getting old now and a fresh set of hubcaps keeps value if youre ever going to return to original and sell... unsure what your intentions are though...

Yeah im thinking spray the steelies, and worst case is i screw it up and it turns out bad i can always just chuck the hubcaps back on and it'll look the same as before. Just need to wait for a sunny day wiht minimal wind. Don't want it to start raining and blowing wind everywhere while my car is sitting on a cheap ass jack

your car is going to look like a nugget either way you go.

Problem with not removing your wheels in the first place to do the spray is that you'll probably end up getting a little paint on your brake setup through the little holes, right?

ive seen someone do the lip thing with the steelies using some lid off a plastic bucket, but itll be hard to find one to fit perfectly lol

Hahah I wouldnt wanna risk looking like a nugget now eh. Maybe I should just leave my wheel covers on... :(

Just save up 50 bux a week till you can get some wheels and tires.

You'll have new look in no time.

Seriously if i saw a car with sprayed hubcaps or steelies, I would prbably have an accident from too much laughter.

Should i just wait until my current tires need changing? And then just buy a new set of rims + tires all in one go? Then take to mechanic for him to put them in and all?

do what you like.

your car, your life, your money.

I've already given a suggestion.

I once almost had an accident when i saw this Camry with a wing, double the size of the type R wing and the rear suspension raised a whole half foot over standard height.
Try to picturre it.

You'll LOL

Nah i mean like, if you buy a set of rims... they'll have tires on them? So that means if i change to the new rims, i'll have a set of working tires sitting there doing nothing. No room to put them, so yeah get what i mean?

you get what I mean?

do what you want, you can work it out.

if i tell you to blow up your car, will you?
