i have some ideas about painting rims, but i wanted to get some input from what everyone else thinks. and if anybody has seen something that looks good, post a pic so i can see. but heres my idea right now

 

Dont do it man! Painting your OEM rims will seriously de-value them!

 

i dont really like it...and i agree, if you ever decide to sell the value will be way down....on a side note, why dont the red 08's look like that around here??? the red ones i've seen on the lots here look a lot darker in person. i didnt really like them at all.

 

ehh, i dont like them. if youre gona paint them, paint the whole rim. i think your car would look good with black rims. other than that, great job with the photoshop

 

no way man, over time I think you would regret doing that

 

just some ideas im playing around with. thanks for the input. saw these and loved em, thats where my mind was when i was thinking about it.

....love photoshop, i do anything and everything in it.

 

dude what the hell is wrong with u? u have a nice car there; take your time and pick out some nice stuff u wont regret later.

 

whats with the attitude, didnt you see that they were just "ideas" i know i wont regret pickin nice stuff...so come on people start makin nice stuff.

 

I just dropped my rims off to get powder coated gloss black. I think it will look good. and when I decide to get some new rims, I will put these ones on my galant.

 

that "idea" looks horrible IMO. two tone spokes? yikes! unique but not in a good way, personally.

powder coat them gun metal or if you want more attention gold/bronze

 

i still think it looks better than stocks lol get a good set of 18x8 wheels for like $800-$1000 and swap the stock tires and sensors to save money. only cost me $100 and i extended my wheels outward 1/4" each and the wheels are 10 pounds lighter each than the stocks. then get a rrm grip kit to lower the inch to make it look nice.

 

Itssss beginning to look alot like christmasssss! Makes me want a candy cane dude :P

Let me ask this though, what tool did you use to replace the color like that with such a dark red? i cant seem to get the colors that dark/deep, it always makes them like a bright silvery version of it.

 

leave that painted red like that and do the rest in black
