Cost:
1 Red Scotchbrite scuff pad

2 Cans Duplicolor Graphite wheel paint $5 a can?

2 Cans clear coat $5 a can?

4 Used WRX rims $75

Pretty cheap, hoping they last, if not, I'll probably get them powder coated. Not sure if the Duplicolor paint is neccessary, they say it's "specially formulated" for wheels but I dunno...

tell me the 4 rims cost $75 a piece (they cost like 220 ea from Subaru, I'm used to buying them for 200-300 for a set of 4) but yeah, it looks pretty nice

i'm not a fan of painted OE rims, but for under $100, those kick ****!

consider the alternative...steel rims.
