My 2004 Vibe with Blacked Out Z24 rims.

Post by mixer »

I had this set of 93 Z24 rims that I removed the flaking clear coat and corrosion from. Repainted it a Semi-Gloss Universal Black followed by three coats of clear. The centers are still being worked on to fill in the Chevy bowtie. These rims are going to get a small red striping and the centers will get Vibe decals. The original rims are going to be powder coated in black with silver accents.

Thanks I like the later year Z24 rims also. The car these came from was on it's way to the salvage yard. Here is a closer look at the front rim. Notice how close the caliper is. I may add a spacer.
