A guy at a custom shop recommended that I look at painting a small portion of my rims the same color as the car to make them blend into the car perfectly. He said it takes time but it's worth it. What do you think?

i wouldn't do it dtn. it would look like a plastic toy model and the paint would eventually come off or get rashed. if you want a new project, buy new suspension or something big! go big and surprise us! after you do that then go back into details.

^Agreed, I dont see much positive in doing this. Time consuming and costs money for something that probally wouldnt look to great anyways.

Ya... It was just a thought. I really didn't have much idea of how it would look and needed to see it.

rims shouldnt blend into the car, they should stand out from the car. i think the idea is double thumbs down...

waste of $$$
bad end product
bad idea

i say, spend some money, get some real suspension and fix up what ya got goin on right now..

I like it but they're right, probably won't last too long, and probably a waste of $$..
