Question painting the Volk SF-challange wheels

So i'm gonna order some 19" volk sf challange wheels. I also own a silver 350z. Now what I want to do is paint the 5 spokes to color match my car but a couple shades darker. What color should I order them, does it matter for painting purposes, and how long will the paint last??

Also size wise, I'm thinking 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. Will this fit well and not stick out, or be far in. Any suggestions. I want to lower my car, but I'm not sure how much.

that is the same size I run and have no problems at all. No issues with rubbing or anything, fits great. Im thinking about running 295 in the rear, anyone else run that with a 19'' ??

Please post stuff like this in the correct (wheels / tires) forum

The answer is it depends on your offsets and wheel widths.

Default RE: Wheel painting

Don't "paint" the wheel - have them powder coated. I have owned a number of vehicles with painted wheels (i.e., white), and I don't recommend it - they will chip like crazy from road debris. Good luck.
