2002 stock rims painting opinion

[Bryce'sWRX]

Okay, as much as I hate to post another new post, my dad is all over my ass about wanting to paint my 2002 wrx stock rims...because he's an accountant and is cheap, but he wants to do something with the rims on my car. Anyways, if my car is WR blue, what color do you guys think would look the best to do a good painting job on the stock rims?

a super cheap way is to use plastidip. check the links.

I've always been a fan of gold

White yellow gold gunmetal or black are my personal favorites

I vote not to do it. Painted stockers only make them look worse. It's cheap but it screams cheap when it's done. There has only ever been one exception to this, and I've seen hundreds of WRXs/STIs with painted stock wheels over the years.

agreed, show the accountant what a well thought out financial plan can accomplish.

What do you guys think of these?
I think i could get these and a new set of tires for under a thousand bucks on Carid.com...kinda like um for how cheap they are which will make my dad happy :P Falken tires any good?

Those rims and Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tires 225/45/17 would be a very good if not the best choice. Keep the stock rims and put a set of Blizzaks on them for those Iowa winters.

There are two kind of wheel colors: Aluminum colored wheels, and wheels that were aluminum colored until somebody poured liquid ugly all over them.

I'll let you guess which kind are my favorite.

well that pic from my last post was a little glitchy but this is a more HD pic, what do you think now?

Gold wheels (Rota G-Forces?) are far better.
