i also tinted the side markers, so only inferno red and black on my ride!

NOBODY?? c'mon people!!!

I had to double check for a second I thought you did the mods already. Yeah I think you should do wheels dark grey or black with the tinted markers, looks good with the car color. Did you do the lip too?

oh wow finally somebody with an opinion! yeah basically ill paint the whole wheel and i even thought about doing a pinstripe on inferno red which obviously im not able to photoshop! but thanks for your opinion!

I like it Renato. I think a satin charcoal would be good bro....

Yes black would look good and if you do the pinstripe it would come together very nicely.

now i just gotta convince the wife! thats the easy part, then pintura! yay thats gonna be hard since ill do it myself! oh well

Thanks for the comments guys!

Yea that does look good. Just dont go to shinny on the wheels it will make the imprafections show more. Such as runs and light and dark spots.

you think i should go satin or matte? i was thinking about satin, not that shinny u know...

also what kind of paint should i use? itll be my first rodeo painting wheels, i have painted several things in the past but never wheels, i have heard Krylon (which ive used on the jeep and it holds up great), engine paint, duplicolors??

Thanks again!

Yea satin will look good just dont do gloss it messes up everytime lol.

thanks for those pictures justin, now you guys are making me go n get some paint, first i gotta go see my brother in law a borrow his rims so i can do this without worrying about the charger not having wheels :P

I heard that Duplicolor works good. Satin Black!

IMO you should look into powder coating them,it will last a lifetime longer!
