Default dumb n00b question.....v. rims + clear coat

okay ive been lookn for some black with red anodized lip wheels for a while and there really isnt much out there .....

anything is possible but then again, i would not advise this type of paint scheme for a beginning painter. i am pretty sure a pro can help u on this.

i tried a blue lip on some old sa3rs and i wasnt too happy.
