To paint or not to paint...

Really considering getting my coupe painted from DG to this...



Rolling on these, but think the current color won't go so well with the new paint job...



Keep the rims the same, powdercoat them black, or paint them glossy black?

Do it. Any color is better than DG. If I had any desire to pour more money into my car, I'd get a paint job. But I don't, so I'm stuck with DG lol.

Keep the rims the same, I think it will match the purple paint very well. Definitely don't go gloss black, I very rarely see gloss black wheels that don't look tacky.

I was never a fan of black wheels in general, but after seeing a buddy of mine and his Matte Black SSR Professors SP1's... I'm starting to become a big fan of the Matte Black.

I agree with Mr. Tragedy up there.

They did, but it was a little darker and on the west coast. I'm on the east.

lol, that's a pretty rare color on G. I haven't seen any G with that color running around my area. Why don't you wanna make it simple? Black? IP?...

Matte black rims are damn nice.

I've done all black before on my Celica. Also, there's already a few murdered out G's in my area, such as Citymunky. Getting bored with DG. Just wanna put my own touch on the car. It was either this or that Mitsubishi orange.
