I want to paint my own wheels black but i need tips for it! Can anyone help me out. And would aircraft paint remover work, or is there something better to remove the chrome off my wheels.
Chrome plating is an electro plating process; the chrome is put on over a copper base coat. the plating can be removed by grit blasting or sand blasting,. the chrome is a very smooth surface and you will have paint adhesion problems, if you do not remove the chrome,
you are undertaking a task which should be done by a professional body shop. you could take the wheels to a shop and them have them grit or sand blasted , then prime and paint them yourself if you have the correct spray equipment. it you have chrome plated aluminum wheels you might want to have them anodized black as they would not chip or peel. this again is not a cheap process.
These are the newest addition to the mod addiction.

What to do..
Well I recently got some new 555Rs for the back, and while balancing them I figured I might as well balance the fronts. So I get one on the machine and rebalance it, came out well. Next one.. WTF!!?? this wheel is all kinds of fucked up.. guess I musta nailed something in the road because the inner lip has a flat spot. I sent it off the next day to see if it could be repaired.. no dice.. wheel has a bent center so its junk. My options are buy a replacement wheel or a whole new set. Im sure your saying " buy a wheel moron", well the problem with that is that these wheels were on the car when I got it and Im not sure who made them. The wheel guy said its important to get the same one...

What's the old saying about getting what you pay for? I don't know anything about this company or their products, but I do know that Ralph Boothe makes a top notch product, has top notch service (even when in the hospital), and is a sponsor of this website, hence I would lean towards buying from a proven supplier. There may be nothing wrong with these, they may buy in such huge quantities from China or wherever that they can offer super low pricing. Are they going to be around in the future? What are their warranty terms like? How do they handle warranty claims? Any pictures of these from actual customer cars that have been on more than a year and exposed to the elements? etc. etc. Too many...
