This is BS. This kind of crap helps NO ONE, whether you meant it as a joke or not. Im glad you can afford a newer car, many of us cant, or maybe we like the car we have and want to modify it. Who are you to come in here saying "upgrade to a newer car"?

 

some one was greatly offended. . .*L*

 

are you trying to paint OEM's? If so i would just spray paint them after cleaning them up real good

 

If you're going to paint them, you should consider whether you need a base coat first (i.e. if you are using a translucent paint you will need a base coat, for plain tones like white/black you can probably paint directly over the rim). For alloys, clean the surface thoroughly with soap and water and let air dry. Do not use any solvents for cleaning as it will make it harder for the new paint to stick.

You might also consider chroming your rims. I've seen pictures of stock rims being chromed at local shops and they look really nice, though I haven't checked into it myself to see the cost. I imagine it wouldn't be too expensive, but I could see $50/wheel.

 

ROFL! you definitely didn't overreact....

I have some oem rims but i wanted to paint them gloss black.. and i was wondering what anyone thought about me using primer, paint, and then a nice clear coat... idk what kind of name brand paint to use... i was thinking of using duplicolor..
