Default Should I paint my Rota Group N's?

I have a championship white 99 ex/ with si lip and oem foglights (black bezel) my Rota's are currently black with the red lip. Should I powder coat them white? pictures would be cool..

I had white on white before and it gets old after a while. I think the black rims would look good with the black bezel on the fogs so I vote keeping them black.

I painted my Group N's army green and threw my R compounds on them today, and slapped the RNR's back on

I sprayed mine with a clear matte. The finish overall was flattened, and I retained the red lip even though the whole wheel was sprayed.

Looks better than the shiny "plastic" type looking finish they come with.

do it yourself, not hard out all. Use a spray can, or if you have a compressor get a paint gun. I have painted 3 sets of wheels with spray paint cans, and they have all turned out great

Yeah you could get a can of it at Lowe's or whatever. I got some from my dad since he's a finisher. The thing is, it'll only flatten out the already existing finish on a surface.

I don't have any close up pics sorry.
