I’m considering having my LX wheels painted. I’ve already played around with photoshop to see what they’d look like painted black but I’m wondering if anyone has already had theirs painted. If so, photos would be appreciated.

Silky silver (just updated my profile with that info, thanks for reminding me)

Yes I also think black would look good as well. I also like red with silver but I wouldn't do my wheels in red. I'd probably plasti-dip the logos in red.

Sorry I haven't painted any wheels, if you do please post photos.

I played around with photoshop using a dealer photo. Here’s the unmodified photo:

Here’s how it might look with black wheels:

And here’s how it might look with black wheels and a wrapped roof:

Since the LX has the black plastic trim on the rocker panels, I think either of these mods might look alright. At the very least, I plan to debadge it and tint all the windows with ceramic tint. Whatever I end up doing, I’ll post photos.

black wheels and roof look sick!!!! That’s my vote…

I've seen posts on the FB forum where people plasti dipped their wheels. Not sure that's the best approach though due to increased unsprung weight.

I own a Silky Silver Carnival and I have a shop near me that powder coats wheels. I've used them before, and I may consider them for the Carnival. If you make any modifications, please post updated pictures.
