Re: Should I paint my rims? (Diverse)

keep the rims you got on, those are hot. if you would rather have some daily driver rims, go with the GM and polished lip

Theirs no vote for "keep the current wheels on" so I'm just posting it.

That my opinion.

Re: (kevinsAslut)

Thanks for the compliments guys. And i know i messed up on "glack" but i couldn't go back and fix it

I wouldn't be replacing my 17"s w/the LS Mesh wheels, i only use the Mesh as my winter rims so i was thinkin of doin somethin diferent to them for the winter. and i'm definately not painting the car, i like Cayenne Red Pearl, its not as common as red or black or whatever. Does anyone have any pix of LS Mesh rims that have been painted any color?
