Rim question
Hi,

I just got a W203 C-Class with OEM rims. I was wondering if any of u guys know if its a good idea if I paint the rims black since my car is black. or if any of you guys have tried or have pictures to show.

Thanks.

are you talking about the oem 16" wheels??
if so, i would recommand get new wheels if you thinking about painting them black.
or maybe just drive till tires need to be changed, then get new set of wheels

Someone made a photoshop of W203 06 rims, powdercoated in a dark grey and lowered (he had a black car)

I thought it looked awesome. Just cant find the picture.

They're not.

I vote for DIY krylon spray paint. Don't even bother taking the wheels off or masking anything... just spray away!
