I painted my stock GT 'starfish' wheels. I hated them but couldn't justify a thousand dollar purchase to replace something like wheels when I'd sooner get lowering springs and long tubes to catted x.

After I did the first one I wasn't sure if I liked it, and it took me almost 2 hours between scuffing, cleaning and painting. I wished I could take it back and go back to silver but I had already committed. I'm happy with the end result.

If you hate it and think it looks like boiled *** please tell me, maybe you'll be the push I need to buy Saleen style or Cobra R's.

This is how it looks now... after 8+ hrs of work. Car is dirty, please excuse her.







A close up-of my work:



This is how it looked before...
I truly hated it, especially after the headlights went to dark.

Personally, I think it looks damn good with your body color and headlights. Normally I'd prefer the polished lip, but in this case I think the full paint works much better. Seriously, if I thought it looked like @$$, boiled or otherwise, I'd say so. I usually don't go for the SN95s, but I think you've got a great looking ride there. Much better than the before pic. Big improvement. Much more aggressive looking now.

Looks fine man, dont be so hard on it!
Those actually look really nice!

The only reason I would call it boiled *** is because that phrase sounds pretty funny. The wheels look great, you can definitely work on the other things you mentioned before getting new wheels

Holy cow I did not expect that kind of response. Thank you!

Edit: for anyone who cares, I used duplicolor wheel paint (dark grey and clear) and generic black touch up paint with the little brush for the ponies.
