So.... Here's my question. Seeing as wheels are a tad expensive and I can't afford a nice pair of bronze wheels. Would painting my steelies bronze be considered ricey?

Depends On How You See It...

For Steelies, Yes.For Wheels, No.

WOW those steelies would be GREAT for a daily driver!

And still hold style with width for function!

Very good "Eye opener" Ditto Thank you.

OP, It all depends on how the paint looks.

If you were to powder coat them i think it would look cool.

But for the same price you could buy the steelies Ditto posted, THEN save for some tires.

I dunno, good luck, have fun, be safe!
