Anybody ever paint their Weld wheels?
Has anybody ever painted there chrome Weld wheels? I've been debating on painting the centers, of my Pro Stars. I just wasn't sure on how to go about it, and getting the paint to "stick" on the chrome. Anybody?

U sure u want to paint. Maybe try plasti dip as a temp solution, to see if u like it. If u dont, much easier to remove than paint.

first they r not chrome, they r polished alum. second what ever u do make sure they r 100% clean with no grime or wax of any kind.

Yes, polished alum. I wouldn't paint the whole wheel, just the center, and have a polished outside ring. But yes, the Plasti Dip is a good idea.

It's been done plenty of times and looks pretty good.

Yep, thats kinda the idea. I wasn't sure if the center caps should be polished or black as well. Still not sure what to do. Thanks for the pics.

No problem, I kinda like them left polished like on this car but it's all personal preference @Flyinz
