It's probably the cheapest and the easiest way to make your wheels look better. What I did was to purchase 2-3 bottles of black spray paints from Amazon. Then sprayed my stock rims.
The spray paint on the left is good for spraying plastic surface. We want that since most wheel hubs are made of plastic. It took me about 1-2 hour since I sprayed several layers to make the paint more durable.
Before:
Make sure you take off the hubs before you spray. You definitely don't want to spray paint into the brake system.
After:
In conclusion, I think this is a pretty easy DIY project and gave a pretty good result. Ever since that, I started noticing my neighbors doing the same thing on their cars too. This is a good project if people have limited budgets like me. From far away, my car does look like as if it has alloy black rims.

They look very nice, I wish my car had hubs...
ReplyDeleteThank you. I should have discovered the product Plastic Dip so that the paint is removal if I decide to change color or change back to stock. Some people spray their car with plastic dip which has nice matt finished.
