    Okay im stuck, i am debating if i want to paint my polished aluminum rims. if i were to paint them i would have it professionally done, and would only paint the 5 spokes while leaving the polished aluminum lip and back lip. I already decided on painting the calipers red. I want to get your input on what i should do with the rims, i am on a tight budget so buying new rims is out of the question. I photoshoped a rough sketch of what it might look like (its an old pic so i tried to add my window tint and tail light tint). Please tell me what your think

    i would leave them polished. they'll always look better that way than if they were painted. you can find sets of wheels on craigslist for like $400, i would suggest just getting a different set.
