so? Even if you strip the paint off and paint a different color, the forged metal is still the same, the weight will still be the same.

It's not like there's JDM paint on there now. it's not precious or anything.

but if you REALLY have to, then i'd powdercoat em and keep the polished lip...

don't listen to anyone here. People here jock volk wheels like they are the end all be all of wheels cus their so mad tyte jdmish.

If you don't like the finish then change it. Personally I hate that silver, i thnk it's dull and boring, I would strip it down as well. A wheel, is a wheel, is a wheel, is a wheel. As long as it's light, round, and can hold a tire do whatever the **** you want with it.

My friend painted his highoffset 16 GAB's, and when he shows pics of his car no one go's, "omg i can't believe you painted those wheels" all people do is stare at his car..

EDIT: Here's that car:
