Learn to like your wheels how they are. Then when you can afford to do it right, buy new ones or go powdycoating. Do not spray paint, you will hate yourself later, and hate leads to smoking. All those products that claim to be special wheel paints are just marketing ploys, they may be tougher than regular paint, but not by much.

I would get them powder coated. Spraypaint doesnt last and will make you and your car look ridiculus
might as well cut your springs to lower your car.

painting your rims is not a bad idea, but you got a choice do it the right way it's going to cost you or do it the easy way and look silly as the paint start flaking off,just bite the bullet and wait till you have the money and get some nice wheels of your choice..

we are all considered rice bro.. who cares.. we drive a four cylinder car with front wheel drive... everyone does something ricey.. and if you paint your rims right, its not. you cant even tell my rims were painted.. i have fooled sooo many people with my rims, i will take a picture of my rims up close and see if you can spot the bad in them, oh and if you know what you are doing.. they wont flake.
