Need help painting rims for Scion Tc

[NatiFresh]

Well someone stole all 4 rims and tires off my Tc and the insurance is going to replace the original stock ones. I was wondering if anyone knew how to paint rims because I was deciding either painting them black or white. If I don't decide to paint them I was wondering if anyone knew of any cheap rims I could buy for my Tc. Something that looks real clean. Since they stole my shi* I decided I might as well make my car look better then it did before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You !!!! :help:

Alot of people hate them but rota's are fairly cheap and look clean... you can pick up some 18's for like 450..

Thank you. Those don't look too bad. I wonder why ppl hate them. Thanks for the website. I'm going to look around it to see what else they have. =]

Your welcome, it's mostly the rota grids that people dislike. But they have some five spoke wheels that look nasty, I believe they also have some konig rims on there for a decent price to, it all depends on your taste.

I've heard that Rota's have cracking issues. But that was just one person I talked to. I've seen a write up on rim painting. If I can find it I'll post you a link.

I would hope its not from daily driving, and something along the lines of hitting a pot hole...
