Paint them like the 35th LE wheels.

Thanks for the opinions. I have considered the 35LE style. I would love to have a set but I'm not to sure how they would look if it was paint rather than a machined surface. The first two pics I have been thinking about for a while now. I have been slow to do it cause even though it is, I don't want it to look like I painted them with a rattle can. If it was a honda with a four different color body kit then I wouldn't worry.

I would have them powder coated rather than painted.

I agree with you on the powder coating. I have got prices from a couple places and to coat them solid black they want $400. And said that any taping or multiple colors would be extra. If I am going to spend that kinda money I'll save and buy some new wheels.

You know you can do the powder coating at home. The gun is $99 and when the wife is away just borrow the oven.:popcorn:

the first two look great. I painted the rims on my camaro in a similar fashion with just some rim spraypaint from pepboys and it turned out good. All black would be sweet too

I have thought about that too. I would just have to get another oven first. I just got a quote in my email of a guy that said he does them for $200. Just gotta find out if that includes stripping. Sounds like a good deal but I know you get what you pay for.

Yep! But in this ecconomy if you have cash you can gat a sweet deal. Some work is better than no work.

Thanks for the opinion. I have actually picked up a set of chrome 10 spokes that I am in the process of refinishing. That way I can experiment and not sacrifice mine. Its taking some time but not really in a rush.
