Wat kinda paint for wheels?
I want to paint my rims black. Is there any good paint that works? I dont really want to buy new ones, or get them powder coated so im' lookin for a good alternative.

can't go wrong with duplicolor wheel coat. Check out their site or go to your local auto parts store to find them.

I would say either black or graphite. If you still cant decide, go with the graphite first adn if you dont like it you can always paint em black.

You have a black roof. Paint your wheels black. But KerosineK's advice is a good one.

the same paint that's on your car can be used on your wheels. it's all in the prep work.

how bout bronze... not like gold, but muted bronze. autozone or something will have what you need, i would suggest high heat paint as wheels get really hot during hard braking.
