Painting Mugen MR5s Sin or Not?
I got a set of 15 inch MR5s for ~400 for my black CRX. I am considering having them painted, just the center of course, to match the gold pin strip and gold roll bar that will be painted soon.
Any thoughts?

They were available painted, black and the 25th teal. Considering there are a lot of them floating around it's not like you are killing the last living example. So I would say it's not a sin. Just paint them a tastefull color. Orange, green, yellow now thats just shamefull LOL

who cares, they're ugly wheels anyway
jk. but seriously, do whatever color you want. they're just wheels. just get them powdercoated instead of trying to paint them in your garage, powdercoating is a lot better quality and lasts longer.

I've got a set of Final Ed. Mr5's at home that I got for a good deal. They are in great condition, but they are black (I don't really care for black wheels). I'd paint them if they had any damage to them, but since they are so mint, I can't bring myself to do them. To me, it's all about condition.
How are yours?

Sorry, I don't know much about paint and didn't trust myself to dive into painting. It is HOK, 2 stage I think. Facebook - Jason's Garage
I am originally from Pittsburgh, which probably has something to do with the choice.
Might be a while for the complete picture, but here is an additional one of the roll bar.
Does anyone know where I can get the pictured decal for these rims?

I paid $700 since they are new in package, and I had the seller split the purchase from the rims.
