Anyone got pictures of stock 8 rims painted?
I'm thinking black with the silver lip or just gold on my Copper Red.
I dont think I have seen stock painted rims anywhere on an rx8 tho. anyone got any pictures to share?
thanks for the space

Heres expo1's painted rims
I'm not sure who's 8 this is, but altspace posted it in a different thread. Red lip and center cap. [Not sure if it's his car cause his sig has a VR 8
]
This one is dhrx8's avatar. So it's kind of small. But it does have the silver lip.
Hon's rx8 with gold rims.
I used Search to find these pictures btw
lol

I think "the mighty red" did that rim paintjob, but I also believe he's since sold his car

I guess i'd photoshop my car with either gun metal, gold (why am i talking about silver? they are already silver lol) rims to see. Might do it with a silver lip for the gunmetal ones.
looks great guys, how much does a powdercoat run for these wheels? ballpark?

I forgot how much people said it was, but i think it was $50-$75 per wheel.
I read from an old post that this guy bought a black powder coat spray can for $6.99 at autozone and he did them himself.

IF you get them done professionally they would sand bast them and clear coat them really well for you....

Interesting...
For all of you that have done this -
If you did it yourself, what product did you use?
If you sent it out - what did you have done (paint or powdercoat) and how much did it cost you?
How has it held up?
Thank you for the input! Looks awesome!

Although my 8 is BB and just trying to get an idea how it looks with stock gunmetal wheels. The new black gt-r looks awesome with gunmetal wheels. And photo shopping its still really hard to get a good feel for how it would look.
Not trying to change this to a gt-r thread it is just the best example I have been able to find with a black car w/ gunmetal wheels (Not to offend anyone but my personal preference - without a chrome/silver lip)
