Should I paint my wheels?

[focker96gt]

I have a 2000 GT-S, Carbon Blue, and I was thinking about painting the factory 5 spoke wheels Gunmetal. What do you guys think?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing using duplicolor gunmetal but worried about the paint chipping.

If you do a search for duplicolor theres a thread with pics where a guy painted his gt wheels gunmetal

Found a guy that is going to Powdercoat them for me. I have to have the tires dismounted and take the wheels to him, but he is only charging 50 bucks for all 4 as long as he can use photos as a display in his store. My dad has a tire changer out in his garage so that will be a breeze. Sounds like a good deal to me.

wow. 50 for all 4? thats a DEAL! do it!

[evil eye]

Yeah, seriously.
