CJAY Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I'm not exactly sure if anyone's done this before, i surely have not. I was wondering if it's cool to paint the factory wheels black? would it damage anything? would it still be balanced? would the weight of the wheels change a lot? is this not recommendable? I love my wheels just dont like the color of it, i've always liked gun metal or black wheels or rims. I have a cousin who did the same with his gold STI wheels and it looks great, he's not had problems with it. we know a guy who can dip the wheels and oven them. what do you guys suggests? thanks i want it to look like the pic attached.
