Hi, I have 16" Buddyclub wheels in black with a red pin-stripe, but I'm wondering if they wouldn't look nicer when they are sprayed in gold. (1st pic is now, 2nd pic is pictune with Advan RG wheels)

What do you think? Should I paint Buddyclub wheels in the first place or I'm a crazy?

Don't spray unless you plan to sand and prep them. If you're willing to pay to have them powder coated, then go for it, but spraying over the current paint isn't going to last. Probably better off selling these and buying some in the color you want or swapping with someone.

to me nothing says rice like gold rims but that's just me. there are a few occasions when people can pull it off but they are few and far between. i'd stick with the black with red pinstripe. looks pretty sweet to me.

Yea. I like the top pic better. Just lower the car a bit.

Black and red are two colors that go together well. Just tint your windows and your car will look badass. I honestly am not too much of a fan of the time attack stripe but you pull it off on your car.

Thanks for your opinions! I think I'll leave them black then.

The pics are just old. :smile: The car has already been dropped with 1 inch Eibach springs. I know it's not much, but I can still enjoy all the driving comfort, combined with an increased dreaving pleasure (thanks to the TRD swaybar).

When you look at below picture (current status of the car), wouldn't spacers be a good idea on the rear axis?

Either way, but if you're repainting them, I'd get them powder coated. Rattle can spray paint will have a higher chance of chipping off, like when you mount tires on the rims.

Everyone does black. Do gold or bronze.
