Hey I was thinking about doing this for my car. I've been wanting ot paint my steelies white or black.
I've been wanting to paint them, but was thinking it would look to cheap or junkyardish.
Post some pics if you do paint them.

my stock 13" are the stock aluminum vx wheels without covers. im just not sure if they will look totally horrible or what. its not that big of a deal. it would actually be the first thing i would change on it. i havent even dropped it yet.

I kind of like the VX wheels. I wouldn't paint them either. Just leave them be. It's going to look like you're trying way too hard if you paint them.

I say leave them not painted just give your car a nice drop. If you do paint it paint a gunmetal color. Some guys here have done it to their gsr rims and it came out real nice.

Engine paint will work. Also maybe try BBQ grill paint if you want flat black. I f'd up my computer case so I painted it with some of that stuff, looks pretty nice and can withstand 1400 degrees
