Do it!!! I would personally powder coat them... I just bought the autozone wheel paint and did mine I just have to re do them every few months... I have seen evo 8 wheels on a 05 white mr and it looks sexy!!

gunmetal looks nicer. i personally think all black looks cheap. only way i think black looks nice on rims are the ones with the silver lip.

I think you should paint your tails first. JDM evo7 tails look hot on white evo's.
