that's pretty cheap for 4 wheels
yeah if thats for 4 wheels thats a great deal.
Yeah, I say go ahead GIT-R-Done
of course if i do this i'll have to paint my car black...
i always thought black wheels would go good on whatever, just make sure you keep those tires lookin wet
Glad I was digging around and found this thread.
I have always hated the rims. Don't like the style and most especially, the color;

I would be happy with black.
Can't afford new ones, so I was thinking of spray painting them. Then someone told me I should have them powder coated. I'm looking into where to do that out here. Want to price it so I can start digging in the couch for change to save up.
Whoever has had it done, are you happy with the results, or do you wish you had just gotten new ones?
Thanks :mrgreen:
i say just buy new rims, i personally dont like powdercoated stock rims on any car, it looks silly to me

Hmmmm.
Thanks cyber3d.
I dunno if I like it :|
Buying new ones is looking like a better choice.
Ravenne, if you decide to buy new rims please let me know. i would like to buy yours.
powdercoat the rims and put some aggressive lookin rubbers on there.
You got it :-)Quote:

I personally don't like black wheels on a black car. Especially a car like the aveo because black on black makes the car look small enough. Black with a polished lip look great.
buy new rims and tires. Keep the stocks for winter. You would be better off and you wont have to buy tires as often.
