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?

like with spraypaint???? I wouldnt reccomend it. the paint would eventually be chipped away by the brake dust. it also wouldnt look so good.

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
