why not just powder coat them? if you paint them it wears and chips.

maybe painted like this:



Cool 4wd civic , gold wouldnt look too bad. I would rather keep them silver because I dont believe you could get a nice gold finish with a spray can, maybe you could go and prove me wrong. Good luck with the rims

powder coating is cheep. i had mine done for 120. plus if you look at the combined cost of painting over and over again to keep it looking good.
