Default 16" Rotas for Del Sol ?

I was looking at getting some 16" rota subzeros off ebay for round 500 shipped......

they are gunmetal finish, with polished sides.....and weight 14 lbs. a piece.

Are these pretty good and lighter than my stock 14" Del Sol wheels ?

also, is it hard to paint black if I wanted to do so ?

yes they'll be a much better improvement over your steelies for the fact that the wheel itself is lighter, and it gives you an opportunity to mount better tires on there. i'm sure you already know all of this though.

Why not just buy black ones? You can find them for that price anywhere.

Couldn't you get them in black?

They're only hard to paint if you don't know what you're doing.

Your car probably won't look as clean on 16s

Powdercoating could run you anywhere from $200-$300 depending on where you do it... Maybe less.
