Default painting stock wheels

did a search and nothing really came. i was looking into this option on my stock 08s for a few reasons. mainly because the wheels have several paint chips as well as where a wheel guy blended the curb rash that was on the wheels when i bought the car. i wasnt thinking a drastic change maybe a really dark bronze color. what do yall think? anyone have any pics of their painted stockers if anyone out there did it?

If they are already in not the best of shape, go for it and see how you like it. Bronze might be a safe bet on the crazy color scale.

I'd say go for it! I've always wondered what bronzed '08/09 wheels would look like. Post up pics if you pull the trigger!
