with spray paint.
i have my 97 xlt explorer on stocks right now.
the rims are crome but i wanted to paint them black for a
little bit of a more custom look.

looking good let me know. thanks

clean em really good, scuff em, apply paint like a hammercoat..

do i need to remove the tire or can i leave them on and paint?

Its entirely up to you.. You can try to cut around the tire with mask but you might not get good coverage around the bead.
