I have no doubt that you are probably good, but the problems I've heard from just painting wheels is that it won't stick for long and eventually begin chipping. At least thats how it is in the motorcycle world, and I'd assume it'd be for the car wheels also. But then again this is just heresay. I'd def ask around about the pros and cons of powdercoating compared to just painting.

2nd pic looks cool. You need the lip to have a good contrast. When you say paint, you do mean powedercoated right?

i really dont care for the black, i think they look fine the way they are. As far as the blacking out the lenses and stuff, that really reminds me of the 90s when teh smoke lens covers were all the rage by italian guys in their IROCs, i didnt care for them then either. But, if that is what you like, more power to ya, if i had to pick, i would like the all black. The black with the chrome make the wheels look really small.

I don't like the black rims. your car is too dark for the black rims, just makes it look like the batmobile or something. imo, you need some chrome rims with that car.

I think I'm just gonna chill with these for now.....and get new wheels down the road.
No one will want to buy painted stockers off of me when I get my new wheels [8D]
