    Default 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.

    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.
