Best way to paint OEM Rims
I have an 09 G37x coupe it comes with 18's on it they are not the ten spoke pattern like the S model they are the five spoke split pattern, i was wondering what is the best way to paint them?
or would it be best to have a local shop do them?
if anyone has these rims painted please post it i'm curious to see i like the way everyone else paints the oem 19's, want to know if the 18's look as good.
also has anyone painted the OEM 10 spoke 19's by just painting the face of the wheel and leaving the lip machined silver?

IMO= In my opinion
And yes it would be best to have a shop do it. and the best way to do it is to powder coat them. Also changing to 18" will be slightly retarded IMO. stick with 19" or even 20"
