im finally blacked out!!

yep i finally have black rims! It was a spur of the moment thing and i like it!! Lets here the opinions..It looks really weird to not have polished rims anymore..so i kinda have mixed feelings but i think i will like them in the long run.

Honestly, I like your rims on your sig but after I see clubgp. Almost all of them go for black paint on stock wheels. I guess your ride and your choice. Not bad but it is kind like steel wheel with missing hubcap.

well i actually traded with someone because he is trading his car to someone else. The car he is trading for has some black 17's on it, if i like those rims better i might trade these Tstars for those black 17's. But i think i might just end keeping these.

i would have left the lip polished. but it looks pretty good

well if i was going to do it with my wheels i would have only done the "star" in black. but these were free and the tires are pretty much brand new so i couldnt refuse! haha

Let me get this straight. You painted polished Torque stars? What a shame. Polished Tstars are hard enought to come by and you take another set of the streets. I woulda been happy to trade you my painted stars for the polished ones.

no herc, i think if i read right he traded his hi-po torque stars for a set that someone already painted

i dont liek the way they look, they need to be more shiney

yes herc. i would have kept mine polished BUT i helped a friend out. He needed to trade his car with the polished tstars to complete the trade with another member on clubgp.

*EDIT* this picture was taken with my cell phone right before i took my car to get the suspension fixed. I will take better pictures once i get my car back. the pictures will be taken tomorrow sometime.

Looks like spare tires now, not a fan.

Ok so you painted painted wheels.

I'm not diggin the all black. Can't tell the wheel from the tire.

It's different but im not diggin it (not my ride though, so if u like them keep them). It does now look like a spare:( Maybe try for those black 17's?

i like it and yet i dont......if they were shiney and the lips were polished

My thought exactly.
I did just find a set of torque stars, sitting on top of a grand prix interior in the gp, blown out windows for $200.
But I have set.
This junk yard had 4 gps, and one was gtp. No fires.

how much would be a polished rim and a painted one? this kid at my scool wants to trade me rims and some cash

This is kinda what I'd wanna do...

GLOSS BLACK POWDERCOATED FTW!!!

herc i DID NOT paint the wheels AT ALL. The wheels came painted! Ben that is EXACTLY what i WANTED to do with MY polished Torque Stars that I TRADED AWAY. i MIGHT spray some gloss over the top of them to help them stand out but idk yet.

I'm new here, but I have to say, love the all black.

'01 GT, yah i like just the star being black, i thought itd be really neat so tried it on my car and I like! I may actually try something like that on my wheels since there just the winter crappy 1's I would feel bad painting them since there hard to come by though, and eventually I may end up selling them and alot of the time the all black look probably wouldnt look good on a majority of grand prix's without like tinted tails or window tint.

which is why i figured it would look good! So im going to keep em and if anything use them as winter wheels for when i get 18's sometime down the road!

Get some 18" American Racing Casino's like me only in black, they would look great on your car espically if you get a chrome lip around the edge.

The T-Stars look better in black than my old tri-stars did...not everyone digs the all black look...I always liked it on black cars and maybe white or red. I think it lends a good contrast and has that "all business" kind of appearance.

I may very well go back to black wheels on the T-Bat since I may have to have tires in the spring for inspection...plus I'm little weary of the hard ride with the 18s...still havent found a wheel that really grabs me yet but still looking.

If you wanted to add a little accent you could do chrome lug nuts (or red anodized) and possibly even a thin red pinstripe arond the lip of the wheel (a'la NASCAR rims)

Looks good with the dark tint and the black grilles.

Different strokes for different folks I guess...

But that's not going to save you from a beating the next time I see you!

lol if your car can get past 25MPH without blowing up!! haha

ben please dont paint your hi pos like that

it never blew up just had a small engine fire haha

ben find somebody who wants polished t-stars and trade for painted ones....id never paint my polished ones

i looked at the painted star look and i didnt like it as much as i thought i would

id do all black now lol i cant make up my mind but never the less i like em

Looks pretty clean, some black gloss will look even hotter.

big improvement over the ugly chrome torque stars.

LMAO WOW u just brought the house down!!!
