So I have a set of Eagle alloy 211s on my blazer and I'm wanting to get some opinions on painting them gloss black. One of them seems to be ruined to me. I made a bad decision and used Hot Rimz on it and now the wheel is corroded in many areas. I'm asking because I get a raise in two weeks for two years in the Navy and I don't want to spend the money on it if anyone has seen it and it looked God awful.

 

Try posting a pic and having someone photoshop them black just to give you and idea. I don't know what they even look like but I'm going to figure that out right now I'll be right back!!

Ok I'm back!! I think they would look good black. 97cherry had similar wheels on his truck and there is a guy right up the street that has the same or very similar and everytime I see them I think to my self "man I bet those would look great in black" That could be because they remind me of the old Cragar mags and I had those on my Cutlass in chrome but I don't think any truck or suv should have chrome on it anymore so I think black would be awesome!!

 

I would post a pic but I don't have any good pics at the moment. I honestly like the black because it has straight street tires on it that are the stock size. Someday when cash starts flowing I want 33s though, no bigger no smaller. I will be sure to post a pic when I get the chance.

 

Your gonna need to do a lot of work to fit 33s!

 

I plan on putting the work in, but now I have a new project, a 92 civic hatch. Needs new struts so I'm lowering it.

 

Upload a pic! Something is better than nothing

 

I think if its gloss black it could look pretty good. I just could never bring myself to paint the chrome black, but if one of them is already ruined then i say go for it.

 

Not the best pic, but it's all I have at the moment. I really don't want to paint them but the corrosion on the front drivers side is deep enough that I don't think I could make an attempt in repairing it without doing more damage.

 

just go for it, or try like a gun metal grey, have a guy that comes in with those exact rims on a clean *** crown ivc an they are gun metal grey an they look killer on it

 

You can get a spray can of plastidip and spray one to see if you like it. If not it will peel off, if ya do you can paint. Paint doesn't stick to chrome very well and will come off over time.
