IMO, I'd rather not spend $400 to paint my stock wheels, I'd rather save the $400 to buy me some decent wheels, just my .02

I did not know you were gonnah do 123s. In that case buy a couple cans of SEM semi gloss trim paint, self etching primer, and a roll of painters tape and call it a day.

Dont go cheap when it comes 2 the wheels or you will end up like me having to get them re-powdercoated. I had them done and went with the smaller shop that was cheaper ( 40 bucks a wheel) and after 4000 miles and some heat they need almost 2hrs hrs of detailing every 2 days(them being white dosent help) But i can clearly see now the texture is not as smooth as a factory powder coat...get it done right the first time and save money in the long run.
