PostHeaderIcon How do I paint rims black with a slightly red hue or undertone? and what materials would you recommend?

Collamati asked:


I want to paint them so they’re extremely shiny and glossy with glitter-like paint if possible. I’ve never painted rims before and I’m not concerned about cost or how much labor is involved. I just want the best quality possible to come out of painting my rims
If it matters the rims are aluminum.

PostHeaderIcon What is the process of getting new rims for my car?

rusty t asked:


I want to buy these rims for my car. I can buy them off trademe (New Zealand’s eBay) quite cheap or buy them from the store. If I buy them from Trademe how do I put them on my car? And if I buy them from the store will they install them for me? Also do I need to buy new tires with the rims or can I keep my ones I have now as they are relatively new. THANK YOU
Thanks. How much kind of money are we thinking about for the fitting?

PostHeaderIcon What should be used to clean chrome rims?

D Marie asked:

I just bought a used car with chrome rims. They appear tarnished and have a dull bronze film on them. I assume break dust and grime. I tried some chrome polish but it didn’t do much, it seems that I should clean them before I try and polish them. What is the best product to use? They are slightly pitted and I am guessing that is permanent, but would like them to look as nice as they can. Thanks in advance.
