So the time is come for me to replace the tires, and while I'm at it i might as well paint the rims. I chose a metallic nickle color and sprayed a junk rim i had sitting around. I think it looks a little lighter than i wanted but i wanted to see what other enthusiasts think about it.



Wheels to be painted

 

Looks good. If you want something a bit darker, try Dupli-Color #HWP102 high performance wheel coating. They call the color "graphite".

 

Your Color is very nice!
My truck is wind blue and Wimbledon white and I redid the wheels back to Wimbledon white

 

I like it! What is the brand & name of the paint you used???

 

I had the wheels media blasted, then i took the code off the door and had them powder coated. I added chrome lug nuts as well
BUT!!!
Autozone sells the correct wimbleton white in a can and you can do it very cheaply.
looking back, i shoulda went the cheaper route...
*** they also sell Ford Stone white in a can, if your paint has faded over time see what one matches best

 

It's some real high tech stuff!! Only the finest of homedepot spray paint
Its Rustoleum's Universal metallic Satin Nickel #2490130

 

Lol was he talking to me or you

 

You, 1996 5.8! I gotta try some of that Satin Nickle, I like the look.

 

I do believe that was close to the color of the factory ford wheels most of mine have had, are those dodge wheels?

 

I still like the original Argent but yours is close enough and the metallic is kinda cool. But I like things pretty stock. I have the factory, later Argent colored wheels on my 59 F250 4x4 and it doesn't quite look right, should be black I think.
