Re: thinking about painting my rims

Are they stock wheels? If so, keep them silver. Gold looks good, but only on more open wheel designs (like the STi BBS). On stock SVX wheels it would just look like overdone eye-candy. Pimp-mobile-ish.

Nice find on the paint though, I'll bookmark that in case I ever need some.
