Pics of Stock Painted RIms?
nope i used Wheel Paint, Duplicolor makes paint that is durable enough for the abuse that wheels take, and is save to use wheel cleaners with also.... plus it looks great with a coat of wax on it :D

about 2 cans of clear for all 4 wheels...
yea 
and i got pics of the bronze and gunmetal in my 1st post...
black was too dark for me and silver was too stock for me... so i picked gunmetal first thinkin bronze would look like poop... gunmetal matched Flint mica almost perfectly... but it got old fast... so i went and tried bronze and fell in love, the contrast is awesome.

its a process... i plan on taking my rims to get professionally PAINTED not powedercoated, i dont like the finish, and i like the darker bronze, too bright of a bronze/gold on flint mica looks weird (on stock wheels anyways im thinkin of gettin the sportmax 962s in gold)
wow, i guess i found some LOL!

dont use the krylon imo,
and i wouldnt use the engine enamel either unless u want a matte finish.
IMO the wheel paint (1st link above) is the best paint, cuz its made for wheels
ive used it plenty of time and each time they come out beautiful :D
