Thinking about different look with out having to spend thousands on new wheels. Can this be done and if so, is this something most body shops can do? THX

Yes, but the paint from what I have heard won't be as durable as for example powder coating the wheels? Powder coating will last much longer.

:iagree: Go with the powder coating. Other wise you will get alot of chip marks and have to keep getting them touched up.

You can paint the wheels, just need a good primer and durable paint with a shot of clear coat on the top.

:cheers: Thanks for advice, any ideas on how much painting 4 wheels should cost? Just so I have an idea when I go into the paint shop for a quote. :thumbsup:

Painted wheels that match the car looks great!
