My raptors rims are in need of a repainting session. I do spray can jobs abount once a year... Normally i Just do black, i have a blue raptor with the black hood and tank topper.

This year i wanna do something a little differant maybe. I was thinking black on the outer rim and blue for the rest or the other way around. Maybe all blue, maybe front blue rears black? What do you guys think would be cool? I'll paint the hubs too.

black all the way. it looks cheesy otherwise, unless you have blue beadlock riims  :thumbs:

I think the black on the outter part of the rim would blend right into the tire. And you woulnd't be able to see it. how about black rim w/ a blue ring?

I say black rim with colored hubs...

I like how mine look. Painted the inside black but left the outside rim stock, unpainted. Looks good, and is less annoying when you don't have paint on the edge of the rim scraping off from grass, sticks and rocks, etc....

I went with gloss black rims, and candy blue hubs.

I should have done matte black though, but its all good. I used primer and sanded them this time so maybe it will last more than a week.
