[trueno429]

i've seen some ppl with black rattle-canned rims..anyone got any gunmetal gray rattlecan pics?

[AudiA4Turbo22]

Welcome! nice stock car! and i like how the HID's look in the pic, but at night ur one of the obvious people with Aftermarket HID's and since it's 8000k they have less light output so u would see better with 4300k or even 6000k!

I just repaired ALL of my rims from curb rash from the previous owner, probably a chick, lol, but it came out really well. I used some bondo, Duponts wheel paint and clear coat. its not exactly stock color, its close, but its a little darker. I was debating the gunmetal grey because thats what color my primer was and it looked hot. Make sure you get 4x6 index cars and stick them in the bead to mask off the tire. it works flawlessly and its quick and easy. taping takes to long!

[trueno429]

haha thanks for the info guys..yeah my car was previously curbed the shit out of so im ganna have alot of sanding and bondo-ing to do tonight

[B6Lovin]

on small repairs like wheels, bondo is VERY easy to work with. just make sure that you work slowly so that you get the contours right. a good tip i found was to hit it with a coat of a good, thick, primer (i used a flat grey rust stopper w/zinc in it from autozone) and that way you can see any places that might not be totally smooth and even with the rest of the wheel.

one of my wheels required significant repair where a chunk was taken out from hitting a drain in the curb (PO swerved to miss a drunk driver that came in his lane) and now i've got some perfect looking, BRONZE, rs4 replicas.
