Painted stockers (poor people) painting Stock Miata Wheels

[Frenchmanremy]

So, for us that can't afford 2500$ old school JDM rims...

And those who just go to Home depot, Canadian tire, Autozone, ect and pick up wheel paint.

Post up your painted stock wheels!

:D

I need ideas.

[fitftw]

I'm poor but these are my winter wheels. Old pic too.

Flat black is timeless. Hides brake dust/dirt/mud or what have you really well.

old wheels but i agree with painting stockers. I love hollow seven spoke in flat black.

Here are my painted daisy wheels. I did them back in 2007. Originally on my red '91, I have since used them on my BRG (because I can't decide what color to refinish my Panasports 15X7).

Sweet Colour NAautoxer!

[2001SE]

Some of these look GREAT!

I panicked when I saw this topic, I thought they were going to be crap looking. Not at all some are REAL nice. I had to check it out, I just started doing mine last night. 15" Stockers on an NB. I got the used from treasurecoast Miata and they were two different colors. I scuffed them up with a 3M (green) pad and shot them with primer (rattle can, oh god) I'll scuff them again tonight and 1st color coat them (silver). Second coat tomorrow, then clear.

Will attach photos of before and after.

Great topic!

[Frenchmanremy]

FITFTW,

Reminds me of my Auto-x wheels on my old Mazda 3..

I really like the wheels WASABI! They look great! I have never really been a fan of stock daisies, but WOW!

Thanks. They have held up pretty good as well. Like I said I am running them on my BRG for now.

14" tires are a little less expensive, lighter, because you can find daisy's cheep all day, they make a good track wheel. Saves your money for for better things.

wasabi, those look more than decent.

Lol, I'd bought mine that colour, was just a coincidence that it matched the painter's tape! hehe

[Phatmiata]

I like the fact that Jim took the time to tape the outside lips off. It makes it look even better than the stock version and kinda looks like an aftermarket wheel. Nice Job

Some great looking wheels in this thread. And I'd not say it's for poor people. I've got THREE SETS of stock rims. 1 set of NA8 7 spokes is in rather desperate need of paint.

[wannafbody]

I used black Plastidip on my daisies

[psulja]

I've been thinking about this to my stock wheels on my NB since they're just for winter anyways. Just not sure which colour would look best on Twilight blue. Was thinking either black or bronze/gold.

I'd stray away from black on blue. I always associate that with a bruise. Bronze/gold on blue is always a great combo tho!

[psulja]

Good point. I have bronze konig heliums during the summer so maybe I'll go with gold, should look semi decent hopefully.

[Frenchmanremy]

I'm still trying to find my paint. Might have to send em to a shop...

[NAautoxer]

screw that! i just bought auto paint from the auto store for my blue wheels.

but then his car could be named "bruiser"!!

Here are my poor man's rims. I was looking to buy some other stock rims to paint, for a change and to fit some wilwoods.

Looks really good! Do you have a set of center caps to cover the axle nuts? If not check your local hardware store for pipe caps. Get the right size and pant them, or put Mazda emblems on them. Great looking BRG!

Looks good!!!

both of these look great, since I have a BRG as well, I think I should at least paint my hollow spokes so there are not three of us...

Here's mine I repainted them silver w/black center caps. I'm thinking of redoing them in gun metal with a polished lip. I'm not sure yet though.

Antique Copper Metallic (has copper and green flake in it). Left the lips and flats of the spokes in their machine finish.

Not Miata stockers... But painted stock wheels nonetheless.

Looks much better than the color they were when I picked them up...

The basics: Clean/degrease it: Sand the scuffs: Scotchbrite pad scouring: Etching Primer: Finish off w/ Duplicolor wheel paint.

The trouble with "directional" wheels is that one side of the car looks opposite than the other. Good job on the paint.
