Has anyone painted GTA rims white??

has anyone done this before, i'd like to see what it would look like, i might get some and possibly paint them, white or black... if they are the gold ones....if they are black i might just leave them alone....

and are all GTA 16" rims 16x8s?

I have seen a couple examples of white GTA wheels. I don't have pics because it was so long ago. Theres a TA on GTA auto accessories that has red GTA wheels. If you are planning on changing the color, I would highly recomend having them powdercoated. It will look and last longer than painting them. Yes all GTA wheels are 16X8. The fronts are 0mm offset while the rears are 16mm offset. When you look at the wheels, they look deeper in the front. On a rear wheel drive car the rears should have the deeper look, which is why I got all 0mm front GTA wheels for my firebird so that all the wheels look the same and can be rotated on all 4 corners.

Can't tell if these are white or silver, but you get the idea.

They are silver, and look damn good. The unpainted GTA wheels are by far the rarest color... Ive only seen 2 sets in person, and they look great.
