hello im new
 
i got my rx8 about a week ago.
2006 6spd manual, grey.
was thinking about painting my rims black?
what do you guys think?

hey katie, welcome to the cult!!! errr.... "club". ;)

Congrats on the RX-8. Quite a few people have done it and I'd highly recommend powder coating the wheels black instead of painting. Might cost a little more but the results are fantastic and should last very long

Hello noob and welcome. Paint it whatever color your heart desires but you have to post pics. It's in the rules...

I paint wheels at work, they will last about as long as powdercoating if done correctly

Hello and welcome. All black wheels look great IMO.

a "chick" posts a thread like this and only one person hits them with the "noob stick".... for shame!

rglbegl 08-28-2008 03:50 PM

Black wheels on most colors looks good IMO.

okay so i was thinking, black is what everybody has. i have seen some gray evo's and z's with blue rims. i want to do something different so i might paint them blue.

NgoRX8 08-29-2008 09:15 PM

that would surely be different.

dynamho 08-30-2008 10:54 AM

Welcome to the club.
I wouldn't paint the wheels, but hey, you asked for an opinion.
Powder coating with a slight tint wouldn't be bad though.
