Should I do it?

Im debating if I should paint my rims or not. if I do I will do it the right way and get them powder coated. I decided to do photoshop the car and you tell me if I should or not




*edit* also if you vote no please tell me why!

Like I said, I will be doing it the right way and thats with powdercoat. We got a guy that powder coats for 50 a rim so really all I got to do is stay away from the fast food and THMotorsports for a month hehe.

I wouldnt do them cause eventually i think they will chip off then ur gonna be like damn i have to do over again. I had a friend who did the same hting with his Wrx rims and they chipped off he had them powdercoated as well. But i will say black does look better for ur color of car.

not sure what your friend did but you do realize majority of rims you buy black are powder coated So really what would be different from me buying a set of black rim and just getting my stockers PC?

Just make sure you get the clear coat sandblasted before you powder coat them.

no way man. leave em. every car in your color is a TC and they don't have polished wheels. sport tint red looks so much sexier with polished wheels.
