New R1-GTR10 Racing Rims, USED!

[chris42192]

So i think these are replicas...BUT anyways, WGAF i was at a friends house and he has a buttload of stuff, like a mini junk yard lol so i saw these rims on his 92 hatch civic, so i told him yo i trade u my broken laptop for the rims...sure enough i scooped em up today!

P.S. Any tips on painting them? Im leaving the chrome and gonna redo the black or make it gunmetal....idk :mellow:

From a 17" Wheel owner to another, Congrats :cool:


I want to repaint mine also so well see who does it first lol

[chris42192]

Im planning this weekend...if i get the tires before...and yeah be glad i dont have 18x7.5s like i did before haha

[Pata078]

5yrs rolling on 18's, I know what you mean.


It's going to be a b!tch but just get yourself some fine sand paper and start going at it. I bet by the time you finish with the first rim, you're going to be like f@ck!! lol

Buy that blue tape to cover the lip and paint away. Just make sure you get good paint Son.

[chris42192]

Yeah i will...im gonna use that Aircraft Remover to take off the paint n get a wire brush with 400 grit sand paper n wet sand it...primer like 5-10 COATS n then paint em glossy black with MAYBE red lines...im still debating... lol

[Pata078]

yes.

I dunno why the hell the Lock Socket is red also. That's a waste.

[94accordex]

Just a heads up on colored lugs...unless you buy super expensive ones, the paint will probably start to chip off eventually. That's what happened to mine...

[chris42192]

Ohh if it chips, i dont mind, as long as its silver underneath I AINT TRIPPINN!!! lol where can i find some cheap reliable lug nuts?

[Pata078]

Don't your Local Auto Parts have some?

[chris42192]
