so i was thinking of painting my stock 17 rims into a dark bronze color... but i dont know if i should take it to a shop or doing it myself. i would be using spray paint and primer to paint it. anybody have experience with it? how much usually would it cost to get it done at a shop?

i was also thinking about replacing the rubber with some high grip Falken Azenis Rt-615s. 225/45/17 in the front and 245/45/17 in the rear. This is gonna be with an inch drop.

Im planning on doing this because i dont plan on getting new rims for years... and im going to track the car. Would the 45 sidewall tires look a whole lot weirder than that 50 stock rubber? what do you guys think.

 

like these color rims. but with 17 inch rims.

 

powder coat them. Dont paint them yourself, it will just look like azz.

 

well those dont look like *** and he did them himself. it just depends on the time and effort you put into it. you get out what you put in. so you could take em to a shop and have em paint em or you can get em powdercoated, if you have a lot of time (read a couple hours of sanding and prepping and then painting) then you could try to do em yourself.

 

how much does powder coating cost?
