just sell em and buy black rims.......they are cheaper than chrome so you should prob come out close to even........................and I personally wouldnt paint em

Steeda97 07-12-2007 12:29 PM

IMO, i'd keep the chrome.

Paint is not going to stick to well to chrome...it will chip and peel off easily...not recommended

Yeah i wouldn't paint them. Can't you pick up 03 Cobras in black for like $129 a wheel on am? You'll probably break even like he said.

Absolutely do NOT paint a chrome wheel.

03_GT 07-12-2007 04:37 PM

Im not gonna paint the rims, it was just a thought that came to me today! Im gonna sell em now!

I'm agreeing with you on that one!

i had some silver painted cobra wheels and they were a bitch to sell w/out the centercaps.

03_GT 07-13-2007 12:05 PM

Yeah not to many people want some rims without some center caps! Im just gonna go ahead and buy new rims and center caps! Now all i gotta do is find someone that wants rims!

v6'stang 07-13-2007 02:45 PM

might try a local car show, prolly be ur best bet to sell'em or craigslist.org

FYI

Just so you know, the 01 Cobra/03-04 GT factory rims are NOT chromed. They are polished aluminum with a clearcoat.
