Going to change color of rim!!

Well finally got to do it, and see what brilliant black with gold rims would look like. I know the rim style is completly different but it gives the idea. my black spoke rims will be painted/powdercoated gold with silver lip. For now im borrowing these mazdaspeed rims...

Looks really good! I think some spacers would help ALOT especially since you have a little stretch on those rims.

:D thanks guys for all the compliments!!!

Actually funny part for the paint, is just spray paint, automotive choice. I was going to have them doen but was worried i was going to pay the money and not like it. so i took the time did a rim a day, and costed me under 50.00. They look amazing paint will look good if you take your time and tape thigns off straight and dont overspray.

Now that i did them, and like them, i will have a local guy paint them with real automotive paint, and get some good clear coat on them.

Ross Dawg, for the spacers, guess i can search, but how do i need to know what size spacer i need? and the wheels are form factory, and the rim is same size as factory. so the stretch is basically stock format.
