Painting wheels??
Ok so we all know the finish of a wheel can determine its price. What if i were to buy some 18 inch bullit's with the dull finish and then painted them or something, would that work?

i'm not talking spray paint, i'm talking like dupli-color paint the same stuff you do the calipers and stuff with.

um that isn't really the best idea. if you are gonna get some rims find a shop that does powder coating. any paint you put on is gonna get knicked and chipped by shit from the road
