I think it actually triples the value. Ah, seriously though, how could it increase the value? It either has no effect, or goes down because the paint job quality sucks.

It will lower it...its no longer stock...I doubt painting them will drop the value enough to make you not do it though.

who cares.. by now you've already lost thousands in value.. painting the wheels will maybe decrease it by a couple hundred on trade in but if you sell it yourself then no..

I would not recommend gunmetal at this time. Gunmetal will decrease the value of your trade in by 13.38526%. Different colors have different values associated with them. For example, black has a decrease value of only 11.21850%, while bronze will only decrease value by a mere 6.03429%. It all just depends on the color you choose, I would recommend chrome with stick-on 'bling' on the spokes, this actually increases the value by 26.88746%. You must act quick, though, these stats change every 62 minutes. What may increase the value of your car now, might actually decrease it in the next hour or so. Just spray as fast as you can with the wheels still on the car (do not tape anything off, you only have so much time finish this), and haul *** to the dealership to make your trade. Post back with your results ASAP.
