Painting the stockers
I've been staring at my fa5 a lot recently (I love the look of a sedan in white) and the stock rims are just too boring.
I started looking at rims, but I'm really not prepared to be spending 1200+ just for a set of rims that will get curb rashed and be gone when I sell my civic in a few years.
I'm thinking painting the stock ones might not be so bad, since I'm a cheapy. Black seems kind of boring, and my stance on black rims with a red lip - played out. Anyone think painting them taffy white and then clear-coating them a few times for a thick coating of protection would look good? I know the white rims on the JDM civic sedan looks like pure sex, but I'm not so sure about the stockers going white.

Re: Painting the stockers (elohel)
Sorry man, got caught up in the fun...
Any ways, I honestly think White on White would look just a little too washed out. If you do it white, the rim will need a darker offset to set the rims apart from the car rather than making it look like a blob of whiteout.
Try a black lip, or even (dark)blue. I'm just toying with thoughts in my head though...who wants to photoshop?

For Gold rims one a while car (especially an integra), but I seriously doubt painting the stock rims gold would come out well at all.

only if its for auto-x and you are trying to remian in Gstock
even then, stock wheels should remain their stock color. not get spray painted or powdercoated
