Looking for opinions or if anyone has photos.

I am debating on painting the trim rings on my XR wheels either the rubicon red or sting gray to match the factory paint. Has anyone done this to their Jeep and have photos? Not sure if the red would be too loud with the Sting gray paint.

I used Rustoleum Regal Red. The wheels are AEV Borahs.
I do like the red, did you think of doing sting gray rings instead of the red at all? I haven't seen anyone do that yet. That regal red is pretty close, maybe a shade bit brighter. I remeber reading the red is another mopar color or something that is like flame red or something.

Powdercoated, helps to break up the blue when the hard top and doors are on.

With the skittle jeeps the body color matching just sets off the rims like no other in my opinion. Powder coating is definitely an option over paint, I just figured paint would be easier to fix if it ever got rash on it. Not sure how the sting gray would look with the rings though.

The rings
were originally AEVs Onyx color.
Then they got scratched.

Never heard of that so I had to look it up, looks like it is a rubber band that goes around the edge, could be cool if you wanted to do an accent color, to be honest thing would of been great on my ex's car since she had no clue how to park near a sidewalk. I am just looking at the trim ring since I already have them, it would be a simple pop off, scuff, paint, and put back on same day if I did it early enough. It is really why I am contemplating it, cheap mod that adds style and gives me something to do. ?

Why do you say they would be too hard to paint? Seems pretty easy since you can remove the beauty ring from the rim.

Right, the XR package comes with beadlock capable 35" inch tires. I will definitely post when I get around to it, I need to finish a few things first and order the paint.
