Dang, that car is way too black! lol

IMHO, paint the stock rims <u>only if</u> you know for a fact that you will keep your car forever. 'cuz no one will ever buy painted stock ITR wheels (unless you're into selling parts at dirt cheap cost).

I say you paint the stock rims flat black, but leave the center caps gunmetal...

more like sand, primer let dry...then color of choice. it takes about 4 hours for 2 wheels. but i think its worth it. i recomend that you dismount the tires. i didn't . i used post it notes to mask off the tires. it works great!
