Default Painted OEM wheels 2004 TSX

I was searching the web the other day for some wheel options and came across a white 04 like mine with painted white oem wheels. I kept looking and looking at the picture and thought it was look nice in gold. So I looked up the process and did my oem wheels in gold last weekend. It actually came out better than I thought and for the meantime, while I save up for some volks in winning gold, these will do nicely! They were a lot brighter gold before I gave them 2 coats of clear. anyone else have painted OEM Wheels?

just normal rust-oleum metallic bright gold paint. I'm going to wet sand them down and then spray another coat of clear on them.

Obviously looks are entirely subjective, but painting a set of factory wheels other then the color they came in (or very similar) looks pretty bad to me. But, at the end of the day... my opinion shouldn't matter.

it's the internet sir, everyone has a fair say. I saw it on another tsx and thought it looked good to me, so I tried it.
