22541, Painting stock rims.. Posted by eklipz264, May-18-02 08:50 AM
Hi, I have stock GS-T rims.. my exterior paint on my car is dark metallic green. What color would you guys suggest for painting my stock rims? Also, what type of paints should I buy? Thanks again.

I think white would look good but stand out a lot. I used Duplicolor high temp engine paint available at most auto stores.

Hey, do you have any pictures of what it might look like? The stock GS-T 95/97 Rims painted white? Cause I was thinking about white rims too but i'm not sure if they would look right on my Dark green eclipse. Thanks

Damn those look good. I want white rims now hehe. You guys think these rims would look weird if I repainted em white?

Well my rims look like these ones.. would they still look alright painted? Heh cause I want to make sure they would look good when I paint them or else i'd feel stupid having ugly rims.

I like your gunmetal color with the blue car better than white would look IMO.
