so ive decided not to think about buying rims until spring due to living in the northeast and just spending 850$ on new tires. i think i want to paint my rims now to match the color or my car (graphite pearl). any opinions? i can get identical paint and i have the whole paint gun set up to do it right. i just want some opinions

 

Try it out.
the worst that can happen is you end up not liking the color.....

 

I suppose it's like painting a room in your residence. You can sand/strip the paint off and try again if you don't like it.

Going for tires is a good move if you're going to need them soon, but $850 seems like a lot. What tires are you pricing-out?

 

they would pick up the door handles and grill nicely if you polished them....

 

Oooh I like that you got the matching paint color! If you end up doing it post pics, Im really interested in seeing how they turn out!

 

Here is a 3rd Gen TL with color matched rims.

 

okay i finally got the paint in to match. carbon graphite pearl. they turned out great. i ended up blacking out the grill and badges too.[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

 

 

Man, a drop will make the car look A LOT better! Just a thought....

 

I second that! But your car is HOT, love the rims!

 

Also since you're doing the 'black out' theme, you should black out the window trim and you'll be set!

 

im debating lowering once again hah and thanks guys. ive tried looking for black trim to hide that crome but ive had no luck. ive only found universal cut to fit stuff. anyone know where i can find oem replacement?

 

Actually the only OEM replacement window trim that I know of is on Heeltoe and it's $600!! That's a little too steep for me so that's why I haven't done it yet. Hopefully the price goes down soon.

 

gah :[ im searching for a junk yard w a tsx i can rip it off of haha

 

Good idea....
