Hey guys I am new to this website.

I just bought a black 2011 IS 250 and after countless hours of searching rims i was wondering about just painting the stock 18 inch rims flat black. I don't know how this would look so can I please have opinions/pictures/comments...

Thanks!

I repainted my stockers and came out very well. I used rustoleom wheel paint and duplicolor wheel clear coat. Its all about prep though. I would just make sure u use a paint thats meant for wheels.

I've seen powder coating as cheap as $60 a wheel!! I'm considering doing my stockies.

I have painted a couple sets of stock wheels and they turned out ok, it really is all about how good your prep them. I vote for powder coating. If you end up painting them use the Dupli-Color, it works great.

+1 for powder coating, although you might want to consider Plasti Dip first to trial run the look.
