Took the winter and resprayed the stock rims a new color. What do you think?

Personally, that looks pretty slick. Now just keep them clean ;-)

Looks good! What are you going to do with the center caps?

last fall the tire shop busted one of the center caps, so I have painted the other three. I need to buy a fourth one and paint it up. Here is a pic of the car with center caps, on the one side of the car.

Big improvement, looks good.

went to get the tires balanced, found out two of the wheels are bent, likely from hitting the famous winnipeg potholes.

I am just about disappointed enough to want to buy new rims!

I have about 300 bucks total into the rims now from painting, plus another 60 from new center caps.

Ahhhh. I think I will just suck it up and drive them for this summer.

The bent rims are not bad enough to feel any vibrations.

Sorry to hear that. I know how ya feel though, seems like once one thing gets fixed another new issue is added to the to wrench list or to buy list (for me at least). 60 bucks for a center cap?! Unbelievable!!
Despite it all, looks great! What paint did you use?

I used Duplicolor from Canadian Tire. Those rape artist wanted 12 bucks a rattle can.

Being in Canada, and most of the center caps on the classifieds coming from the USA, the shipping makes it not a very cost effective alternative to the dealership I have found.

I dig that, what color is that, is it a type of gunmetal!
