Just do it. Theres a few people that have painted OEM wheels. White, black, gold, not so sure about gunmetal...






I forgot who had the gold/bronze wheels.

The black wheels with the red accent belong to a member named Fitcapo.

thnx! for the help

 

You did it with both the red stripe and without?

Only difference between your first pic one is that you have a different center cap.

 

It's a fairly easy task to do if you're somewhat familiar with paint and all the steps involved. It can easily be done in a day with the spare tire and the jackstand, however I'd let them sit for another day before driving the car. I jacked up one side and put the spare on, then dropped it and jacked up another corner and left it up so I had 2 wheels to work with. I then let those dry to the touch and remounted them, then did the same on the other side. After that the car didn't move for 2 days.
