My 03 Vibe GT with winter tires and plastidip painted rims

[JimmyDarmody]

Hello everyone,

I was working on my Vibe this weekend. Getting ready for winter. It is funny because when I bought the car, the previous owner included a set of rims for the winter tires. These rims had multiple scratches and when I tried them first time, with the old rotors and rusty caliper didn't look very well. I decided to use the factory rims for a while. Recently I changed the front rotors and decided to paint the calipers with silver color. I thought... maybe the extra rims will look nicer now. So I went online and bought plastidip (black+pearl) and decided to paint the rims as well. Here is the result! I am quite happy with the new looks and vibe got some compliment today when I parked on the street!

Looks real good. Do you by chance have any more pics with a little better lighting? I'm curious how that color looks. I may be interested in painting my stock wheels this color.

Sure! Here in BC is quite gray weather these days but as soon as there is a sunny day, I will take some bright pics

Nice you have winter tires. Got my 03 GT stuck today trying to turn around in a driveway. Was going back to get the AWD Trix because the roads weren't plowed.

A good set of snow tires on the Vibe makes it a great snow mobile. Alloys for the snow tires look good. I use the steelies with a set of 16 inch Matrix caps on em for the Winter tires. Definitely not as nice looking as those alloys.
