    Painting the wheels advice

    I want to paint the original alloys so they look good in the winter, but i cant decide what would look better... white (which is the color of the car) or black

    i make a paint that is pretty much identical to the polar white used by honda that year, but i dont want to paint them and then have them look shitty
    can i loan you some mileage, i got enough to go around

    i didnt know that the alloys were painted in the factory, i figured they were the color of the metal, you wouldnt happen to know the color code, so i can paint the centercaps

    Well they might just be polished and not painted. But they might have a clear coat on them. I'm not sure which original alloys you have. Do you have any pics of them?
