If you're going to ask someone to take thier time and do something for you - provide a decent pic!
Take a his-res photo and do it right. Frame the car too.
If you do that, you'll get help.

i painted mine gunmetal. but when i get new rims im taking the stock ones to get powdercoated gunmetal cuz the paints not lasting very long. i have a few chips here and there but i still get complimented on them so im still kinda happy with them.

heres a pic for a reference.



good luck and take your time on it. you'll thank yourself later. there is a couple threads around here about painted stock wheels so dont be surprised if this gets locked. but just incase noone tells you here are some links

............................ point of that? I dunno. Just interested in the topic ( I post on all of the "paint your own" wheels post) Just dont have anything to say. I would say use the search, but its already been said. And I would post a link to the other threats but that's been done already. Other post consist of How I'm Patiently waiting on JAPTC to post a DIY on his.......................... but I was like .................ehhhhhh..............whateverrrrrrrrrrrr he's got it?

but since you asked.............. um........................ well..............I said something this time. But its nothing note worthy.

And to the rest of my addoring fans waiting on my post respones. (Yeah right)

i would say if you are going to get them painted, do the job RIGHT and have them professionally painted...but if you're gonna spend the money to have them professionally painted, then save more money and get new rims.

That was just a nice way of saying "just sac up and get some rims!"
