Painted my OEM wheels this weekend...
So I wanted a different look for my 8 and I had thought of going black on my wheels but I dont think that look is all that great, dont get me wrong it looks good on certain applications. I wanted Gunmetal color but Gunmetal is a very vague color, However after doing lots of searching I decided on a color.
I went with Toyota/Lexus paint code 1G3-Magnetic grey.

wow those are nice.
someone in town was selling a used set that were painted a bit darker, but they seemed to have a flat finish...nice in some ways, but cleaning wouldn't have been fun...
i'm always disappointed with the finish "inside" the wheels...great to see that done.

Pictues!
I just got the tires mounted and balanced. I painted the calipers black. I just got the wheels put on and had to put it outside to take pictures. I have the biggest grin on my face. I absolutely love the look of the car now!
Okay, I'll shut up now...

Well, i sandblasted mine before painting so keep that in mind too. Im going to guess $750-$1000 to get them professionaly done at a good body shop. My material cost in just paint and clearcoat was $250 but since i did them at my shop thats all i had to pay.
