painted rims?

Has anyone ever painted the stock B16 ser rims?

Shouldn't be hard. They might have a clearcoat on them from the factory, so you'll want to use something to strip off any finish there might be, but you can go to town at that point. It should be the same as any other wheel, so you may want to try searching for "painting wheels" or some variant thereof and see if there's more info on the site.

Thanks. I painted a few of my friend's car rims already. They all came out looking pretty good. Im just afraid im gonna regret doing it and then being forced to buying other rims at that point. So i was hoping someone would have some pictures if they have done it to theirs already so i can have somewhat of an idea.

Gotcha. Try posting a side-view pic of your car in General Chat and asking for a Photoshop, there are some whizzes in there who can give you a good idea of what to expect.

i have painted a set, they turned out really nice. As in a previous post you must strip al the clear off the wheel first, but other then that it is a breeze. and they turned out really nice.
