: gunmetal painted rims
brucewayne 03-28-2007, 08:07 AM Hey , I am buying a srt8 jeep today in silver and found this
cool pic.
what do you guys think?
I am not into 22's but want a more aggresive look.
Also has anyone painted their brembo calipers red?
Thanks
promo718 03-28-2007, 08:23 AM looks nice. if you darken the rim, i would drop the chrome on the side as well.
That is exactly the color I want to poweder coat my rims. Are there any more pictures of that jeep?

Valid point! Thanks for the heads up.:)

Sorry , I do not :(
That looks great.
Instead of painting the calipers red, you could see if one of the LX guy would trade you straight across.

sorry, I am too much of a newbie to know what a LX is?:o
Goldengreek5 03-28-2007, 08:55 AM Thats the look I'm going for. Got a quote from a friend of mine for 400.00 to paint all 4 rims, 2-3 day turnaround time.

Heres a close up.
the quality seems lacking upclose.
or is it just me?

promo718 03-28-2007, 09:29 AM i like that blacked out stealth look, i'm going for it when i get tired of the stock look.

The Charger platform.
Untouchable 03-28-2007, 09:42 AM :) looks nice. What you dont realize is that the jeeps have an auto feature where soon after you clean them they automatically develop that same "powdercoated" finish with powder of another sort:)
moschin0 03-28-2007, 08:12 PM can u guys give me the paint code number thank you

He means a Charger. They come with identical calipers, except they're red. I have them on mine, they're around $800 for the set if I remember correctly.

Can we disable this feature in the trip computer? :(

Man...that is just what I am looking to do...except maybe to leave the center cap as is.
Is powdercoating the way to go or can they be painted and cleared?? Do the stock wheels have clear on them??
The black jeep Looks SICK !! any1 got more pics??

I know that this is an old thread, but would anyone be able to photoshop these onto a black truck, as I'm looking at doing something similar?
Thanks!
Razorecko 11-25-2008, 09:13 AM look at my threads for my hyperblack wheels. u ca photoslop those
MtlSRT 11-25-2008, 10:44 AM Thanks!! I don't have photoshop, so I'll have to use my imagination:) Do you know where I could find a pic of these on a Black SRT?
Razorecko 11-25-2008, 12:41 PM ^ actually there was a member with a black jeep that had his wheels powdercoated like mine, you'll have to search for the thread though can't think it off the top of my head
MtlSRT 11-25-2008, 12:43 PM Thanks!! I'll try to find it!
OneBadJeep 11-25-2008, 01:30 PM Damn, is that the 08 Ferrari Truck?
Leegoober 11-27-2008, 09:49 PM That was me! Just search my name then go to "threads started"!
