I cant decide between gold or black/silver. I saw one member here got his wheels painter really cool way bu i cant find that thread. Anyways he has black/silver rims with black being "inside", kinda like on Charger Daytona. Does it make sense? If you guys know what i am talking about please post some pix. Thanks.

Do these painted rims chip off easily when say, kicked with sneakers?

May I see it for a navy blue Tc with white original rims?

heree is minee i've done it way before i read this thread but this thread is a good
write up on what you have to do....butt who ever tries to do this,...just get a good clear
coat if ur doing any other color other than black..brake dust is so bad on paint thats
not clear coated....and for the taping off the rim part...i just used index cars and it
worked perfect...didnt get any overspray on the tire at all...but the taping is good to...

i figured i wanted to be diff so i decided to go with a florecent orange...and well here ya
goo....i liked it a lott...a lot of people didnt like it but then it started to grow on them...i
just like standing outt haha
