Thinking of painting rims...

Aite, I got an 01 forest green integra, and i am thinking about
painting my rims....but the thing is, i dont know exactly which
color would look good. I was thinking along the lines of either
forest green(match car color), black, or gunmetal black. What do
you guys think would be a good color for the rims?

Also, the rims that I am painting are the stock rims, and i was
wondering, if i were to paint them, what steps/procedures would i
have to go through in order to paint them....like is there any specifics
or do i just spray paint them?

Get them powder coated. Its cheap and will last forever-You paint them yourself and it will chip and scratch really easy.

why do you need to start 3 threads? Just ask your questions in one thread?
