Default Painting ugly stock Rims black with polished lip. Comments Please!

EDIT: forget it, dumb idea scroll down for a link to my other post if you want to help me though.

alright. My rims are ******* ugly.



they're the stock rims off the 96 EX, huge mistake on honda's part... anyways. I was thinking of doing this:

photoshopped by my friend aya.


thoughts and comments?

and my biggest concern; do the wheels need to come off the rims to polish and pain them? thanks!

I'm thinking I'm going to get some off a prelude or 7-spokes off an accord soon. I just don't have the money.
