ideas for stock SES wheels

mrfatride · Feb 28, 2012

So seeing i wont be able to really afford new wheels for my focus anytime soon (home ownership can suck sometimes lol) I am looking for ideas on what color to paint my stock ses wheels to make it more unique. Here is a picture for reference

They are scuffed up here and there so if anything i would paint them the stock color just to make them look better. what do yo guys think?

My paint has fallen off of mine, so I am going to plastidip mine because my car is also black. So it won't look bad.

yeah you could plastidip them and if you dont like it just peel it off(=

White although hard to keep clean, would look good on a blue car.

white had been floating around in my mind. idk if i would want something that "loud" though. what about bronze?

White or bronze/gold

Bronze will most likely be the color then. I just ordered the FRPP suspension kit from tousley so I am wondering if I could run some 5mm wheel spacers to bring the wheels out a tad. Just trying to make whatever subtle changes I can make while keeping it on the cheap

leave them with the factory finish or chrome

I have the snowflake wheels, I painted mine black and it looks pretty nice to me. I am considering painting them again since they are chipping or just buying actual black wheels. But hey it only took like 3 cans of wheel paint and it's been about a year so I got my moneys worth

(getting my windows tinted really soon, can't stand another TX summer without it)

you either love it or hate it. this is what it would look like. btw, these look absolutly awsome on blue cars but i like the contrast against the black.

also, these are roush rims but the stockers will look the same

matz2453 · Mar 6, 2012

How about black with like blue trim, or something like that black and blue combo

cleonjones · Mar 6, 2012

Best bet is photoshopping some designs to get a good idea. I agree with Stang on the white on blue, it always looks great

mrfatride · Mar 6, 2012

The more I am thinking is going with a lighter silver or a really dark grey metallic like liquid grey

bedoya_d94 · Mar 16, 2012

Paint them black with blue lip it would look pretty sick this is my OEM rims I painted black and red

well i ended up going with Duplicolor GM Gunmetal Grey Metallic and here is how they look on the car

FRPP Drop kit is going on this weekend and will have updated pictures

Damn, all your guys stock rims look nice! Right when I was thinking about getting new rims, I think I'd just want to re-paint mines a new color.
