Default Painting rims? do or dont?

Well i've been shopping for wheels for a few weeks now, been tossing up some ideas for my BOP... I dont want to go w/ the standard 6/8 silver rims like 80% of scion owners have.... i like the 4 spoke, but dont know if it will flow right w/ that colour. So after photo chopping a few, i found the older style BBS wheels that came on the subaru STi look awsome! But i cant find any on the 4x100... all the bronze wheels i see have a polished lip so how successful would one be on getting silver wheels and painting them bronze? anyone tried? paint chips off? fading? streaks?

any info would be great... thanks

you should have no problems with the wheels being painted as long as you get it done right

if you really want em to hold up .. either have em done at a paint shop .. or have em powdercoated



bronze on blue = hot
bronce on white = hot
bronze on red = hot
