Red Rims

[cave12man]

For my next build, I'm thinking of going with a classic flat black powdercoat along with some chrome accents, red rims, and whitewall tires. Was wondering though, where do you guys get the red rims? I know some of you get them powdercoated or painted, and I saw that Nirve has some reds for sale tho they look like a light red and not that deep red. Anywhere else to get them or is this it? Thanks!

I use sunglow red spray paint :mrgreen:

i might have to resort to that. do you unlace and do everything separate?

I think if you already have laced wheels, you shouldn't disassemble them, but instead mask off the spokes with the "straw method". Basically cut a slit down the straws long ways and tape them over the spokes. There should be a tutorial about it somewhere

I didn't even un-lace mine, paint doesn't stick to chrome very well so I just sprayed them and took a razor blade to clean the spokes after. Also the over spray isn't that noticeable.

and just did these in blue for another build.

My personal preference is to unlace everything before painting, especially if I'm painting the spokes.
