Dipping Honda Si Rims WHITE

[evilrilla2]

So my cousin works at a shop and could get the hookups to dip rims and changed them to any color. They sandblast the rim and then dip it. Normal price he said is $120 per rim, but he gets a deal at $60 per rim. powder coated.

Do you guys think Si rims look good in White??? I have a red honda civic, so it will be a good contrast.

Also, if they are getting dipped, is it possible to buy messed up Si rims for a cheaper price and be able to fix them up????? and by messed up I mean having scatches/scrapes, etc.


The following is NOT my car, but my car is red, and i currently do not have Si rims, i want to get Si rims because i want a better suspension on my car and i think they would be a smoother ride.

Stock Si rims

Photoshop the Si Rims White, not the best quality but you get the point.

My current Rims

i dont mind the wheels you have now, id put the money towards painting your fenders, bumpers, lips, side skirts

Absolutely right on that one. They will be painted, its $1300 paint the entire car, or like $800 to paint what you just said.

Yea, i wasnt sure if people are digging my current rims. any other opinions on the current rims as well?

1300 for the whole car is a pretty darn good deal, definitely likin the side markers.

car looks pretty clean good luck to you

yup $1300 is a good deal, especially considering he is including a little bit of pushing and pulling on the front end because it does not line up properly. but I could pay 800 to paint the front end and use the other 400 for something else....like Si rims...Mmmmmm

i agree with pyropunker, nothing beats stock SI's they look good on any color car

I thought about doing this a few months ago, and found a few real pictures
my car is white, so i liked this one:

Sorry I dont have a red one, theres a thread on HT thats all about painted stock rims, but I cant find it right now.
I just felt there was something about them i didnt like, but I couldnt put my finger on it. but its up to you man

 

[evilrilla2]

thanks for sharing those real pictures, its good to see. They look clean to me, especially on the Si! It looks pretty sick to me.

Stock Si wheels look good. I really want a set to "polish" if you will. Anyway, your wheels look good right now. I'd say spend that $1300 on the respray and rock some Si wheels. Your current wheels are legit and I think you'll dig the look once your car is colormatched.

Also, sidemarkers FTW.

That black with red line is probably the sickest Si rims I have ever seen. If I were you I would get that.
