Your not gona get good results with any kind of spray on paint, have it last, no matter what the prep is.. Save up your money.. You need to have them done with powder coat, it will work and prob will look pretty good.. Never seen that style wheel in black... Remember, do it right the first time, will save you headaches, money and time in the end.. :)

x2^..............

Are those stocks chrome? If so you would have to go through a lot to even get the paint to stick good, much less look good. If you insist, you should at least trade for some stock silver wheels.

lol no theyre not chrome i just pulled them off the internet i was to lazy to go outside to take pics

it doesn't matter if they are chrome or not, most of the time they will have to strip them (witch is good because the quality of the PC will be good, if no stripping then it can be runny or chip off easy)

google some shops in Houston cuz up here in dallas they go for 45-60 a rim for strip and PC

those are the polished 2500 rims 16x6.5 probably the lightest wheel for a 2500, but they are only 6.5 wide, kinda limits you on tires. but i agree powder coat them and be done with it.

yeah i know my 22"s are too big and heavy i know on tires i want some tires with a nice profile to them kinda like low pro tires but all the way but options are limited :/

i sprayed my factory wheels flat black and they came out sick in my opinion and i have them on my truck ill take a pic soon ..

both pics taken with my cell phone camera ill get some better pics up a little later but this is a rough estimate.. it actually came out really sick i thought, im in the process of doing my 22's semi gloss
