ive been debating whether or not i should paint the wheels. im probably gonna go with gunmetal if i do. so what do you guys think?

here's a pic of the wheels and car:

 

just leave them. Painting stock 17s is a bit tacky IMO.

 

17's with 30mm spacers, a slammed body, painted time attack style looks great... but not on DB. lol. leave em. save the money and buy some decent aftermarket.

 

leave em save money and get some real rims.

 

+1 the stockers look lame. Save up some money and get some nice wheels and your car will look amazing.

 

you and I were in agreement until you mentioned time attack style. barfinmymouth

 

Who am I your mother?

 

 

I too am looking to paint my stockers until I wear out the new tires i have and get new wheels. You should be able to get them powder coated for roughly $300...or you could save that money for the later purchase. there is already a thread about this with a DB w/ gold rims powder coated:

actually i think ill just look into wheels when i need new tires on these. :sigh: theyre new tires too....oh well

 

leave them the way they are, dont waste your money

 

so true you have Z not a civic.

 

After seeing these, I'll be painting the stockers on my Daytona Blue gold. Might also go with a blue lip.

 

Here they are on the car.

 

There's nothing wrong with painting or powdercoating your stock rims. You can have them done for ~$200. This is a worthwhile mod if tastefully done. Although I like the stock rims, I do not like their "bare" look.

Here is a picture of my 17" powdercoated (black) stock rims:



Here is a picture of my 18" painted (gunmetal) track rims:



My '06 rims are painted gunmetal also and they look even sharper than most aftermarket rims.

 

Just leave the wheels alone. The track wheels look ok painted, but other than that, stock wheels should remain just that, stock. (IMO)
