Default thinking of painting my fat 5's. What do you guys think?

I just want a change and since I can't afford Rota's that I want for a while I though painting them might hold me over till I'm done with college and making some real money. Does anybody have pics of them painted flat black? And the other question is does it stay or come off (the paint)? I don't want to do it halfed assed and have it look like **** in a few weeks or months.

I would love to but when your going to college and taking out $15,000+ a year to pay for it there isn't much extra money to be had for rims. I don't really like them anymore and want to amke them "blend in" to the car a bit more.

</TD></TR></TABLE>, polish them, and save for something new...and btw for some reason i giggled, just because you said you wanted a change, and couldn't afford rota's. i'd rather have oem's than rota's, imho. get'rdun.
