Anyone have any silver 8's with gold or black oem rims? I'm planning on doing this asap seeing as I don't have enough money for aftermarket rims :\

VERY NICE!! I love black wheels, but I'm not a huge fan of the stocks painted all black. The silver lip adds sooo much. Any picture of these on a BB from anyone? Or is a photoshop in order?

I did it myself, took a whole Saturday to do it. They have held up ok, enough for track day use. The extreme heat, and pretty harsh brake dust has taken the shine off in a few places. But none of the paint has come off. For a street use application, I would suggest a couple clear coats before removing your masking.
