I picked up a set of 17 wheels off Craigslist.
Owner of nice Guards Red 996.1 cab replaced them with 19” off a 997.
They had some old Cooper Zeon tires with lots of tread and ancient date codes.
They were cheap ($200) so I don’t mind replacing the tires with some cheap all-seasons.
All 4 have some minor scratches.
I don’t want to spend the money to have them powdercoated.
Can anyone suggest a DIY paint to use that will look nice?
I prefer silver wheels, but might consider a different color.
I’ve had black wheels before and I’m not sure I want black.
While I was washing them a neighbor came over and said a friend of his had some he wanted to get rid of.
I told him I’d buy them for $200 too if they’re in good shape.
If nothing else I can pass them on to someone else.
...or buy some racing tires...

Dupli color wheel paint seems to do ok with good preparation.
Thanks! Any idea how many cans I’d need for 4 wheels?
I am still working on this myself. I have two cans of self etching primer, two cans of color and one can of clear. I've done this in the past on other wheels and have been happy with the results.
