That really does look rather sharp. I like mine in their original silver though, especially with mine being black, having the wheels black too would be black overload.

I agree, the best way would be to powder coat the wheels. You'll need to sand down the clear coat first. Might be more expensive but will be better in the long run.

If you paint them right, you don't have any problems at all I've painted rims for people before and never had one problem. I painted a 98 Eclipse GS's stock rim's a gunmetal shade...not one chip, not one flake. You just have to know what your doing. And if your gonna powdercoat it, just get new rims for that price. Its not worth it. RoadRunner I'll agree with you that all black rims on an all black car is too much. The rims I'm getting have a polished lip, They're gorgeous...I can't even wait.
