Do these wheels suck?

[yeller]

Years ago, when I was on a road trip, I lost a tire on the freeway and ended up destroying my rim. I bought a rim/tire to get me back on the road, but now I had one rim that was different. I planned on getting a matching rim when I got back home, but as with most things I do.....it takes a looong time.

Fast forward 9yrs and rims are still mis-matched......and they all look like crap.

I was practically given a set of rims off an old Mazda B2300 that are in great shape and they're 14", so my tires will swap right over.

I painted the section between the spokes black, to make the spokes look longer. I'm going to keep that, except I'm going to change if from gloss black to flat black so the paint is less noticeable.

Anyways.........I painted the indentation in the spokes (yellow) to match the boat, but I'm 50/50 on whether it looks better or looks cheap.

So what's your opinion? Paint or no paint? Don't hold back. You won't hurt my feelings.

Looks good. (painted)

Paint

[Ghost]

The paint's not bad, but no paint is better.

[Pat McPherson]

They look good either way to me.

[Greg Guimond]

I kinda like the paint. There is just enough and not too much. Assuming you are freshwater it should last, right?

The yellow paint looks okay in a "flower power" kind of way..........
I hear they will be offering those painted wheels for men's trailers soon.

All in fun...........

Either looks work. Did you see if the bolt pattern works on the trailer?

I don't care what people think.
Ship them to me and I will use them
That's what friends are for...Ed....

Ok, so I have 3 "for", 2 "50/50", 1 "against".........and Woobs.

Woobs has his own category because it was sooo definite. I've had to start therapy to overcome it.



....and then there's Ed. Typical Canadian. Thinks that just being nice is enough to get you free stuff.

Yes bolt pattern is the same. Center bore was slightly too small, but there is a ridge inside the bore that I was able to use a hole saw on and shave off an 1/8".
