Exclamation Who can paint my OEM wheel's gold?!

After watching some youtube videos of the WRX STi ver. 7 I got some inspiration

I can't afford new wheels, so I think this is the best way to go! TIA

LMK

Do it yourself. It's cheaper and easy. I've painted quite a few of my wheels over the years. No problems with chips or anything. Make sure you choose the right gold. Here's my Forester with the SSR Comps I painted:

If you like that BBS STi gold, Grimmspeed makes a spray identical to it.

I'm assuming you would stick the index cards inside the rim part of the wheel to avoid spraying your tires right?! If so... G.E.N.I.U.S!!!

^ I shud of posted "How do I paint my wheels GOLD?"

But, it would be nice to get some help from someone who owns a floor jack and nice lug nut wrench

Or did you just spray w/ the wheels on the car?

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Feeling a lot more confident about the whole process
