Painted my stock wheels (now with installed pics on Skiboard's car)
During the summer, i have my Motegis on my car, but since i live in Canada, can't really keep em all year around, so i just use my stock Si wheels in the winter, so i decided to paint them gunmetal like my Motegis. Just wanted to show off what they look like. It was a pain to do, lots of sanding, priming and spray painting, but i like the end result! Plus i had help from Skiboard! Thanx man, would have taken a really long time without you!







So they're gona be back on my car next winter! But till then, i'm happy with my 18s Motegi!

by the way, haven't had time to clean the tires... i know! they're really dirty!!!

If they're only used for winter, powder coating would 've been a waste of end$..

Wheels look nice man.. Didn't want to try to leave the lip unpainted?

this didn't cost much, not even 20$ (cdn) for the 4 wheels
besides, like someone said, it's only for winter, my #1 wheels are my Motegis!

The look nice, but I remember when BoilerMaker1 did that. They looked nice for a while, too, but after a few days or maybe a week or two, the finish started coming off pretty badly. They might night hold up through the winter.

...do look good though.

Sorry, but I'm not feelin' that. It needs some touring style rims like Racing Hart S15s or something along those lines.
