Can some give me a link for the DIY for painting your rims. I have searched for an hour and I can't find anything for some reason. I know there is one out there. I would appreciate it. Thanks

you are going to paint you wheels? You don't hear about that too often. What color?
Are you going to "paint" them or powder coat them?

The DIY section is in the Tech Garage section. But I've never seen a single post about someone painting the rims themselves. Plenty of threads about powder coated rims, but they've all been done professionally.
My humble, unsolicited opinion - if you have to ask how to do it, you should NOT DIY! It's not like painting calipers or hubs, where a screw up can be easily fixed or hidden. Mess up on the rims and everyone will see it. Tho I guess you could try it, and have it re-done professionally if something goes wrong.
GL - and post some pics (and maybe write a DIY) if you do paint them.
