Before and AFTER

[gmalero2000]

Here is the alero before and after tell me what you think


Before:

[gmalero2000]

And AFTER:

[Philbar71]

Eh, not horrible, but definitely needs to be lowered.

[gmalero2000]

i planned a 1.5 later

[cavaliers60]

Painted stock rims ftl.

[Cashdollar2009]

If they look nice and clean up close, I think you did alright. It's what suits your taste. I can understand not having the cash for a whole new set of wheels. Get some close-up pics.

[gmalero2000]

i think after i paint the calipers red it will really stand out

[mbeals]

Eh, not horrible, but definitely needs to be lowered.
And clear those corners.

I think blacked out wheels is possibly the hardest look to pull off. Has to be done just right to look good, but when it is done right....damn

[gmalero2000]

close

[mbeals]

Yea, paint those calipers....do it in sliver though or black...not red. Non-performance calipers painted a contrasting color screams rice. Put some tire shine on those tires too.

[lonnie]

What changed?





/lol

[cavaliers60]

I don't know.... I mean it looks alright for now, but it's going to start fading off and possibly peeling later on... It's not my cup of tea, but if you like it that's all that matters.

[IRONDOG442]

This is a typical project of mine that shows a before and after, I just finished it, I had 40 hours into the whole project.

[cherrington17]

ugh. hate painted stocks. but thats my opinion. (tires are too small)

looks shiny. so... nice job waxing it.

[MotorCity]

not my cup of tea :lol: but it looks good for the right set of eyes

[kwhauck]

not bad, but you should pony up for some real wheels....

[Vella's Alero]

First off, that's looks like a pretty good paint job on the wheels but the darker colours just make them look that much smaller. If you like it though, to each their own.

[KenshinZero]

Could have had the same look as the OE steelies..... but good paint work, wanna paint my car next? lol

[whiterider00]

not too bad. the left side looks like its a bit rough tho, right where the sun is reflecting off of it. if you get sick of the painted stock wheels, ive got a set of 15 in wheels for sale.

[That01Olds]

Eh painting stock rims not really my thing, but if it works for you that's all that really matters. Doesn't look terrible though.

[MattismodderX]

sexy fresh rims brah! now you need some tire shine

[Trickyslick]

Not bad but tint the windows to help it blend

[lonnie]

If you clear coat those they should last allot longer. Let the pebbles and stuff beat up the clear.

[gmalero2000]

thanks for the comments guys. i bought 4 cans of black paint to keep refreshing them. when they dull or fade. i also carbon faibered the doohr handles

[Woodbury Alero]

Paint the calipers red and lower it 1.5 and your all set :]
