Volan Color?

Recommended Posts

I realized yesterday that I can not afford tires for my volans yet so I have decided to refinish them. Question is what color should I make them I like the anth., but bright silver does look good on a darker car, or I could just get silly and paint them black.

I think the black would give it a nice look, but it could also look like shite

If you want to see what Black on Black looks like you should checkout CJ's wagon. I personally like it alot, makes the wagon look very intimadating. B)

True it does look badass on CJ's wagon but I don't know how the smaller spokes on the volans will look.

Screw it, only one way to find out.

I could always go ricer and do 'em white :D

I would honestly consider white if you had a white car.

However, black would be pretty badass. Anthricite is always baller.

Just curious, why don't you save the money from painting the volans and use it towards new tires?

because it is not expensive to repaint the wheels if you do it yourself.

filling in scratches, prep, and paint for all 4 wheels= maybe $50( If i change my mind about colors alot)

4 New tires- installed and ballanced= $500

see my point.

that and Im bored

yeah that kinda makes sence, but i have to say a black car with black wheels, of course unless youve got achrome/silver lip, then black wheels loook like steelies going down the road.

IMHO, black car=slver wheels. white car= black wheels(chrome lip)

If you're using spray paint, no matter how good it is, it's going to chip as soon as you get the tire mounted. If you don't mind doing some degree of refinishing work after you get tires, then go for it.

Without curing the finish (or alternately using some sort of powdercoat), the paint will not stick to the aluminum like the OEM paint.
