So I purchased some MKIV N/A wheel. Im debating in weather painting them some kind of dark color or leaving them chrome or just repaint them to the stock silver color.

What do you guys think I should do>? Pic of my supra in my sig.

Im leaning more to painting them maybe a dark color? Im not sure if its Gun Metal or Charcoal black? Thanks

I was actually thinking of painting them correctly, and not using a spray can to paint them.

actually i've never seen a set of powdercoated wheels that turned out well. usually they will yellow or peel.

i'm partial to the duplicolor wheel paint. it lays down really well with the proper prep, cleans up easy, breeze to touch up if need be, and doesnt chip/peel/crack. well, i take that back. their clear coat sucks if you use that. it likes to yellow as well.

dude just rattle can it do a few coats and you'll be fine its not gonna chip

yep i used the wheel can paint did 2 coats and it came out fine i did these to 3 different set of rims already...they do chip though you just have to touch it up every once in a while...but the best is powder coat it....i say do them black or chrome... :biglaugh:
