I was thinking about having my stock wheels painted or anodized black, but would also like to see some pix. Any suggestion on how they should be painted (type of paint and method)?

yeah this is an amazing look, the sport wheels look hundreds of times better, if i had a black fit instead of my bsp i would have done this the day i took it home and thrown some spacers all around to widen the stance and maybe wider tires. then lower. soo sharp looking.

I am suprised almost no one decides for the alternate sport rim offerred by honda, i think ive only seen one car on here with them and i think he was in alaska if i remember correctly. they look so damn good idk why more people diddnt opt for this.
