Gday guys, i want/need to paint the rims on my car
the ones on the passenger side are both painted a silverish colour (in first photo) and the others were polished, but have faded after sitting in a shed for a while (third photo) i WAS gunna paint these before they went on the car but a pothole made it more urgent that i put these on so i had 4 of the same wheels again Im just after opinions on colour, i refuse to chrome them because i hate polished/chrome wheels. im thinking Dark Agent sort of colour or one closer to the two painted ones but a little darker. Painted ones   Unpainted damage  thanks guys Dylan

Just sell em and get some better wheels dude. if you are gonna paint em I'd paint em black.
Gab PS: Did that Falcon tow that Corolla there? (from the first pic) |

I'd throw some paint at the front bar first
 Otherwise I agree with Gab.

It's funny how 18's look small on B series and massive on E series.

go for a charcol colour. with a few coats of clear over the top.
Or go white and purple to match the colour scheme of your car

Perhaps, but it was cheaper to get these than replace/fix the wrecked one and the damage to the others Plus I wanted a change anyway, the other ones were a d**k to clean I didn't post this for everyone to tell me to get different wheels, because I wanna keep these ones
