Should I get my wheels painted?

[naughtika]

fellas.. just want your opinion.. should i paint my current wheels? I think I want to paint them like my old wheels..

some of you might ask why.. it gets dirty too much.. and its really visible.. so maybe if i paint it in dark color.. it'll stop me from getting annoyed..

you've got more dollars than sense.

i'd probably paint them white, or some light colour (other than the current silver)

i have a thing for light wheels on dark cars, and dark wheels on light cars...
however after putting my old black skyline rims on the black stagea, i think they look horn!

i thought of that..

what would be better? powder coat or just plain paint them? and of course it'll be prep'ed

Horses for courses painting or coating, many different opinions. Powder coating can usually be had for about $30 per wheel so not a bad option - but by painting can usually have a few coats of clear to help shine them up a bit.

But either way, im with mitchy, i like contrasting wheels usually. Dark grey on green would just be too dull in my opinion.
