Painted stock rims
Has anyone painted their stock rims? I am interested in painting my rims but i don't how they look. I'm leaning towards black and I don't want it to be glossy. Anyone have any pics?

For rims, in my experience, powdercoating has always been superior to painting. Also you can get your rims powdercoated matte black so there will be no glossiness. A good powdercoating job can be upwards of $100 per wheel though so think it through for sure.
