Default Should I paint rims these black, gunmetal, or none? Photoshop people needed.

Check out the bottom of the page.

I have 16' Enkei RP-01's on my 94 Teg right now and want a change in color but am kinda scared of fu*kin' up. I know how to do prep and paint pretty well and am thinking about getting a new set in a month or two so I was thinking it wouldn't hurt. I tried selling these on here but no luck. So if you photoshop guys/gals could help me out and change the color to a black, gunmetal, or even red all w/polished lip that would help me alot. Thanks!

Oh sorry about the size of the pics.

Bump for tonite. Does anybody else know where to go to get Duplicolor wheel paint besides Schucks/Krager, Napa, GI Joe's?

Screw all that painting wheels crap! Why you wanna ruin a perfectly nice set of RP-01's for? Do like the Beatles and "let it be"...

The hood's CF so no I won't paint that. I am going to get the genuine Vision mirrors soon for fairly cheap so I am going to leave the mirrors as is for now. I am thinking about painting the moldings though.

And to all of you that helped and photoshopped them for me thanks alot they all look good . I tried do it too but I suck and don't know how to use photoshop at all.

I think the Orange doesn't look too bad, but the bronze and gunmetal look friggin sweet.

I agree....enkei's are nice wheels and they look good on your car in silver. They didnt sell here on H-T because they aren't "JDM" enough, even though enkei's are japanese wheels and Rotas are made in the phillipines. Go figure.

kinda off topic, but put some honda/acura center caps in there. not sure which emblems you have but kinda looked like an "H" on the front. it will look really clean. just a subtle detail.
