First off I got white 17" wheels now which look awesome w/ my white car but they get dirty way to quickly which is annoying. I was thinking about getting them dipped in black maybe w/ a white lip or something. I really like Fast420A's black rims but I dont feel like buying new rims. Anyone know how much it is to dip wheels in black and possbily add the white lip? I have no idea where to get it done either. What place do that? Think it should look aiight. I also would do the same to my stock wheels since Ill be using them for racing most likely. Thanks

My opinion is black rims wont look that good. I have never seen it, just picturing it in my head.... I think I really light gunmetal would look alright.

Black rims on a white car look BADD ASS especially with a CF hood. Look in to powdercoating or painting. I painted.

How much did u spend Fast420A for painting? any idea on powder coating?
-Dave

Painting cost me $20 for a few cans of black primer, a few cans of 500 degree black engine paint and a few cans of clear coat engine paint.

Actually I remember that white car with cf hood and gun metal / black rims and it was tight.

I dont know about black, but Niclipse got his silver 17'Enkeis powdercoated white for $200, if that helps any. Im thinkin bout gettin white rims tho. Was it really a hassle to clean the rims all the time?

If powdercoating doesn't chip off easily then get that. The paint is EASILY chipped by rocks and shit just from normal daily driving. Thats why I keep extra paint around to touch it up here and there.

They are Enkie 16 X 7's. Here is a pic when I first got them back in the rice days a few years ago.

HAHA..You had a racing zone sticker on your car. J/K...I just do not like the store. They do not respect the 420a. I think it is because they are ignorant.

Again like I said, back in the rice days and yes they do not respect the 420A and they are a bunch of stuck up COCKS!
