I cant find many pics of blazers with the rims i have so i dont have a whole lot of reference but i want to paint my stock rims black but i wasnt sure i could do it with these rims seeing as how they are slotted and they have a texture to them

alright so litterbug has the same ones and his are painted so i see it can be done if anyone knows a good process that i can use to paint them i would love to do a two tone black out red in red lip

works the same

as I tipped on that thread, if you deflate your tires and pull them away from the rim you can get a cleaner edge
