I've been considering painting my stock 08 wheels white on my NBP. Never seen white rims on a black TL, so I thought I'd give it a go, though I'm not a big fan of the stock wheels for 08.
I was considering doing that too, but i think imma do black first. Later on I could always try the white.

red pinstripe you could buy anywhere like advaced ...just make sure the edge of the wheel is clean and go around the edge of the wheel with the pinstripe..ive done this with several other wheels i had and it looked real good and held up just fine
Is this hard to do?

someone on here has white enkeis on their NBP TL...looks amazing...but you'll probably have to drop/add spacers for it to really look great.

look on the photography forum...i think the thread's labelled got rice? or something rice.

i know this is off topic, but i painted my stock rims flat black.I was just wondering if there is a product that can remove the color to make it look stock again without the clear coat coming off the stockies. any suggestions?

Your best bet is to sand them down and re-paint them stock alloy again?

I would try the black market if you're trying to sell them.

Can someone post an SSM or ASM with painted stock wheels? I've seen 2(?) thus far, lol. I kind of like the gloss black that the white TL had on the second page but with a red pinstripe on the edge of the wheels like the black TL had.

For anyone wanting to see what there car would look like with black wheels, Try a product called plasti dip. Its not paint, its the material used on handles of pliers (the grip part). Its easily reversable, all you need to do to get it off your wheels is peel it off. Tons of people on other forums have been using it on there wheels, grills... I've even seen a thread before where someone painted their whole car with it ( not a good idea )

I powdercoated the 3G TL wheels white and that's my current winter set-up on my SSM 7th Gen Accord. I've been meaning to take and post pictures for a while now but I'm so busy with work I don't have time to give the car a wash for proper pictures. I may have tonjust take some with the car dirty because it's not getting any nicer here in Michigan.

Still wondering what other colors besides flat black would look good on a NBP. I saw bronze and heard about white, but not sure how those would look. Has anyone tried gunmetal on NBP?

Thinking about doing my Type-S wheels a flat black, havent decided it I want to paint them like that or powder coat them. Thinking of maybe trying the plasti-dip method. That comes out kind of a flat color right?

Plastidip comes out matte black. I've heard of people plastidipping their wheels, and then putting a clearcoat over it to make it look glossy. You can also primer it and then paint on top of the primer.

Once you're done you can just peel the plastidip off.
