- Fri Mar 20, 2009 6:53 am #104534 i need some opinions guys.
i wanna paint these rims bronze so they can look better but i also want to get some si's or hx rims( i found some hx for a good price with good tires, two of them are slicks, they are black with the center cap with the red H, they look really nice) so wat you guys think? should i keep the rims that i have now and paint them bronze or sell them and get a set of si's or hx?

- Fri Mar 20, 2009 6:58 am #104535 i would trade them for a sat that has good/better tires unless you like them and a picture of your whole car would make the decision easier

- Fri Mar 20, 2009 7:05 am #104536 heres this one...there a bit too big for me and yea im looking for some 15's or the hx 14's would be nice




wat you guys think?

- Fri Mar 20, 2009 11:56 am #104552 Hey man i was in this EXACT situation last week

I had 17inch xenon TSW rims
they were ugly and scratched up
i ran into SI rims for 300$
put them on they looked sick i spent a good 2 days
sanding down my other rims and painted them bronze
(DupliColor bronze from autozone 3.88$ a can ) 2 cans of it did fine
Now my TSW rims look AMAZING i can sell them for atleast 400$ now
or keep them for another set. Id recomend the same
you will really be suprised how nice it turns out.
I did clear coat over it to and spent about a hour sanding each rim with 300 grit .

I agree, there's a few members on here who have those rims cleaned up and they look way better than si's or HX's

- Sat Mar 21, 2009 3:07 am #104720 Dare to be different and keep the ones you have.

- Sat Mar 21, 2009 3:11 am #104723 personally I love HX wheels so ofcourse that's how I would vote

but you have to go with what you think is right

- Sat Mar 21, 2009 7:37 pm #104819 Keep those bad boys

- Sat Mar 21, 2009 8:56 pm #104829 I'd keep them, they look awesome when they're cleaned up!!
