Any suggestions on what brand and type of paint to use to smoke, but not black out, my stock Wheels on my 08 Rex?
Thanks

i personally wouldnt rattle can anything on a new car. I would get them powdercoated. But if you are still wanting to, then im sure they sell some gunmetal grey type paints instead of totally black if thats what youre looking for

Explain how new wheels are worth the money. I can tell you right now, they aren't.

haha, noon answer

wheels are one of the best upgrades on a car, i see from your avatar that your a track guru, thought you would have known that. I'm pretty sure my 18x10's will be much better than the old 17x8's

Functionally, if you have a set of straight wheels, it is hard to justify a new set of wheels. And on top of that, just wanting to change up the look of the car does not justify another 7-10 bills on wheels when paint works just fine...

Its mostly that i'm trying to hide the fact that i won't be able to afford wheels for a looooooonnnnnnggggg time. So for now, i give people hell about.

well with looks in mind, painted wheels just don't cut the mustard in my opinion

plus aftermarket wheels car reduce weight (unsprung) and, perhaps most importantly, let you run 245s, 265s etcr, which I can guarantee will drop lap times...and they look really good
