I have my sights on my friend's wheels for the talon, they're in great shape however his paint job is flaking and the lip's paint on the front is all peeled off from being stuck.

I'm thinking a nice black, just wondering if anyone around is pretty good at doing wheels?
I was going to do the stockers myself but if I get these wheels i want it done by someone with more experience.

Just wondering about how much it'd run.

painting wheels is cheap and easy to do, but like you mentioned the wheels will flake or peel down the road. i would reccomend powder coating them. they last forever, and look good at the same time. i got all of my wheels done for 100 bucks, and they warantee the powder for 15 years. so if any of them flake i get them fixed for free

I'm really not sure what other colors go with the talon that well.
I've thought of maybe a gun metal but I'm not sure, I just think black would look best on it.

Well I think I'm going to pass up these wheels.
I know he'd want some money alongside mine and right now I just have other things I'd like to focus on.

They were Evo 8 wheels, would have looked good but still needed some touching up - they look great on his car.

Maybe someday in the future I'll snag some up if I find a good deal.
