Rim Color

bartone · 02-29-2008, 05:20 PM

as most of you have seen my rsx-s wheels. silver in color.. ive been thinking if i should paint it black as i was planning to do.
but if i do paint it this year im planning to do it DIY style. just basically spray painting it myself like how type did. if i do it, i would do it before i put my new tires on so i can pretty much paint the whole thing ( except the part where the tires are covering)
should i do it or not?
this is what they look like now

and i want it to look kinda like this. ( borrowing a pic from a member on the site, sorry)

don't do it! I think the silver looks awesome on the GG.

dont do it....you will regret painting them...then they will never be the same

I wouldn't do it. I like the silver better and you will never get the finish back.

i'd keep them silver..but get H center caps...BUT if you do paint them take the tires off first..you dont want to paint them then have the paint chip when the tires get taken off
