I think red looks good on certain cars, like white or black

props for CONTRAST.

pick the right color rim/accesories
for the the right color car and it'll be dope.

and how are ya'll mixing
up NEON GREEN with TEIN/Takata Green?

[reason why he changed
his Volks to House of Kolors
Neon Orange is because we hate biters. ]

originality.

How long would the color and quality stay on rims that are painted versus professinoally powdercoated. I think the idea of painting our own rims is great; however for 50.00 a rim, with little maintenance afterwards, I would think the long-term investment would be sufficiently lower powdercoating the wheels then painting them, and having to repaint them.

I personally would only consider powder coating them. It's much more durable.

True, but when they need repainting, you have the option of switching up the color.

his stocks painted bronze.
