Does anyone have a local place that will paint my stock sti wheels black?
I want a semi gloss nearly flat look.
Thanks.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I called AMS and they don't recommend the powdercoating option, they say that it is too expensive and that it will not be good for the wheels.
Might bend in the future.
They say to just take it to a body shop and it might cost me like $100 per wheel.
I guess that is what I am gonna do.
Thanks guys.
