Default DIY SI wheels...PICS!

I painted my Si's this past weekend a very dark gunmetal metal flake. I think they came out awesome.

Let me know what you think!

might have looked a little better if it were flat matted black, rather than high gloss. The unpainted center caps make it look even cheesier.

sorry... not a fan

Seems like more people like them unpainted. Oh well...I like them the way they are now.

i strongly dis-agree... blades painted that gray metallic color look AMAZING. Do a search on the appearance or itnegra forum, some guy did his and they looked GREAT. However that's the only rim that hsould be painted.

ITs not that i don't like the black, i just think SI rims looks great iwthout being painted.
