    Hey Guys, Just wondering if someone has any advice. I have a 09 lancer GTS model, and I have the 18" GTS rims, But i wanted to get black rims. Instead of paying 500 dollars for new rims, Is there anyway I could do it myself? thanks for the feeback

    plasti dip is probably the best, you can constantly re-do it too if needed since its only about 6$ per can.. ;P

    i use a 400 grit sandpaper so the paint will stick a little better.
