Can someone help me paint the mesh rims black and put a red lip on the outer most edge of them. The wheels aren't on my car yet either, so pshopping it onto my car as well would be very much appreciated!

Here's the wheels and the car:

the angle of the rims makes it very hard. we need an angle like your car is setting.

Here's are the wheels at another angle. But there's a lot of shadow spots on them.

What model Ro_jas are they? I'm gonna google it and see if I can come up with some better pics.

EDIT: are they the GTM?

why would you want to get rid of such a classic and now rare RD wheel???

what are you going to do with them if you're getting the other wheels?

Thanks for the attempt, it gives me a good idea of whether it will look good or not, and i think it suits the car pretty well!

As for the RD's, they are definitely a classic...but I can never quite leave my car alone :)

i think you would be very satisfied if you did it. you can always paint them back silver and polish the lip.

True enough. It's always hard to make the decision to paint or not!

Xavier, does this mean you can finally sell me those RD's :)

BTW, did you ever end up installing the steering wheel and tail lights?

LOL, they will be up on the market shortly and you are on the top of the list my friend.

I did install the steering wheel...it feels a lot better than stock. I had the tails on for a while, but didn't really dig em too much so i went back to the clear/reds. I'm making some changes to the smoked lights so maybe they will find a place on my car again :)

Hmm I upgraded to OEM clears after you got the smoked ones.... I like the clears a lot more. Well let me know when you decide to get rid of the RD's. Good luck on the wheel search!

Jake, I already picked up those wheels above...just deciding on paint or not. The RD's will definitely be up for sale, just a matter of when i'm going to put the new wheels on :)
