Nah i wont be able to get the wrx until december, bu i figured itd be handy to kno how to do it now. Im not too big of a fan of metallic silver on standard wrx rims, i think they look awful unless they're standard gold. I'd like to spray them either white or black. Does anyone kno any good brands of primer and spray paint for rims?

Spence where can you get rims prepped and painted for 250?!

Cheapest i've found is like 400 which isn't worth it for stock BBS....

Also not interested in powdercoating for fears of weakening etc etc

what are you talking about?
the temp involved will have no adverse effects on the strength at all.

only thing i dont like about powdercating is you cant just paint over it if you need to, but it does look good and still only bakes at 60-70 degrees anyway, same as automotive paint
