Thinking of paiting my wheels

I was sitting down today just throwing around some ideas for my car and thought about color matching my wheels to my car. I have a CGP TSX (as seen below), and I have a set of 18" 5zigen Sport Engines in hyper silver...I was wondering how it may look. If anybody is good at photochop on here, could you maybe help me out? Heres my car if you wanna try oh and for those of you who are going to say "you need a drop"...its well on its way, my srpings are going on very very soon

Don't touch and use that money to buy some suspension. Do you even have any clue how much the painting is going to cost? $500-600 ish.

If you want to make it looks really hot, firstly drop it, tint windows dark like 10-5%, paint spokes black and leave the lip polished.

That would look very nice IMO, Nice choice with the rims

My springs have been sitting in my room for about 3 weeks, I am looking at them right now...I just havent had any time to install them because I have been extremely with busy with school becaue of finals and just all the crap in general that comes along with the closing of a school year. And tanks S A CHO I love them, and o yea, as far as tint goes...I think the lowest my dads gonna let me go is 15, kinda sucks but I think 15 will be dark enough for me

If you do it, powdercoat rather then paint. It will last longer.

Honestly, confusedjojo has the same Model Year TSX, same color TSX, and even the same wheels as you. Drop it like he did and itll look goldne.

Way to respond 11 days later. I was simply suggesting that it does not need a paint job. Just get the springs on and itll look great.

well, there are upsides and downsides to powdercoating. My rims were pretty banged up so decided to fix'em. I also decided to either paint my rims or powdercoat them and my first option was to powdercoat them because they are bit stronger than paint and also it has that dull finished look. But, I decided to paint them because If I was powdercoat my rims then they will have to restrip everything and have to bake them. Well, my case was little different because I had these blue strips around inside of the rims so If I ask them to powdercoat then they will have to come off. I didn't wanted that to happne so I ended up painting my rims. But, What I asked them to do was put 3 different coating and finish the last coat to make it dull look so that it doesn't make the paint too shinny. The result came out great and I love'em.
