I was thinking about doing this to my car: (this is a photoshop edit btw)



Anyone done anything similar to this w/the stock wheels? Perhaps even polished them?

 

No, but I've seen it done...
I would suggest Duplicolor Wheel Paint if your doing it yourself.
Also what color are you planning on doing? I'm not a fan of the Gunmetal rims on a white car...
They always turn out really nice it seems.

How'd those small lights below the corner lights (orange) turn out?

 

PM nightshark. i think he has done the same thing.

i preferably like the gold. haha it's a bit girly but it's beautiful. as for the stockers, i'd probably go ahead and buy a set for that $500 price. you get brand new tires and the car will look hot. maybe 16' inchers would be neat. it would update the look of the car a lot better than painting the stock rims gunmetal.

anybody else?

 

Yea, it hasbeen done before...someone did a post on that a while back..maybe you could do a search?

 

I allready have the paint from along time ago smile.gif

And I couldnt find the right shade of paint(they were all out) so i guess that will have to wait.

 

yup, are you gonna paint them a gloss black, flat black or a bronze...

post pictures when you do this, i really wanna see how they look because i am torn weather to paint mine or not because the wheels i have are in really excelt condition and when cleaned up look nice.

 

Would paint them GunMeatal w/this:

 

my friend painted his wheels gunmetal on his black 1st gen GSX. they turned out really well.

 

here you go.. heres a do it yourself from elantraxd.com,
