that wouldnt happen to be the dupli-color rim paint is it?

nemesys6 Dec 23, 2005 05:17 PM

omg they look outragous! i freakin love them, i wanna do mine

its not dupli color because we coudldnt find them in gold. we went to all the autoparts store and ended up finding the paint at LOWES lol.
the paint itself was cheap..but i paid a local evo ower $160 to paint them and black out my headlight. i couldve painted them myself but i prefer not to risk it lol. washed the car and the rims so far no sign of paint coming off *knock on wood*

Looks good, I'm sure they look even better in person.

Eh, i guess if you cant afford rims, this is the way to go. Painted rims have always looked cheap IMO, but if you like it, then its good.
