Re: should i paint stock rims?

Wow, that picture shows up alot! That's mine and it used to be red (or pink ), so yes, it's been painted so I could use the set on a purple Camaro. I think they'd look good with the teal color. I would have rather left them polished after stripping the red paint off, but too much work for something I only wanted for winter use. There's also a thread where someone polished up a set like this and looks really good, and personally, I think the polished set woul look awesome against your teal color.


I found a picture of the polished wheel...
