Paint my rims?

[MainEvent212]

ok, i have an S14, soon to be painted all black

right now i have 17" ADR sokudo 8s...the problem is they're WHITE!

now should i paint them black? or should i go the extra mile and powdercoat them?

i really like these rims and dont have all that much cash to replace them...help?

powdercoat!

No other solution really makes sense. Shop around, perhaps they can throw them in with a bigger job with leftover coating. Black is pretty common, shouldn't be too costly.

I have 18" sokudo 8's on my car but they are gunmetal... I would say powdercoat them... they will come out much better looking

powdercoat them. Since your are getting a nice bodykit dont ruin the look buy spray painting your wheels.

keep it black, They willl look nice in contrast. Other than that powdercoated gun metal would be good

why not just strip em down and clear coat the Al?

look at the pics in my profile. i hae 17 inch rims, that used to be white. they were powder coated black from a local place called wheels of america. also has a liftime warranty, so they will do them again if it peels or bubbles. it cost 300 bucks.. not to bad in my opinoin....

yeah i was expecting 500 for the powdercoating but 300 is awesome...i'm really good with prepping/painting stuff so they'd come out really nice if i painted them but the painting seems too delicate to me :-\

i think i'm gonna powdercoat them, they'd look sweet, black on black with the polished lip
