getting them powder coated would be the best way. from what my boss told me painting your rims even with high heat paint after a few months they will still fade

yea powdercoat is the way to go and just polish the lip yourself. i think its around $50 a wheel or so but powdercoat is tough as hell!

I wouldn't paint those r/t rims you have... I'd resell them to a neon guy, those are kinda rare especially ones in such great shape

I actually agree with that. Keep it in its OEM goodness, just like i would never paint si rims as the JDM gods will strike me in a crash.

But yeah keep them they way they are...remember OEM = Beautiful

I'll trade the 17's and stock headlights (or the apc ones you had on the car) for the r/t rims, the headlights on your car and $60
