Ok I hope this question belongs here....I have been going back and forth between refinishing my stock wheels, or painting them black like in this http://dsmtuner.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217864 So.. First: Does anyone know what type of paint I would need to get them to look the same as stock? Because on the 97-99 gsx wheels the color is kinda sparkly:confused: and not one flat color like the swirlies on older gsx wheels, like in this, http://www.vfaq.com/mods/wayback/wheel_finishing.html they are a lot whiter looking next to a 97-99 wheel, and I dont want to lose that sparkle should I refinish and paint them. Second: if I were to paint them black and leave the polished lip, would it be easy(as far as paint removal goes) to take the black off and paint them stock color again if I didnt like the black? Any help or ideas are appreciated
 
Just use the house of colors three step painting. Use a Metal flake base, a semi clear paint, and a glossy clear coat.

Or, just follow the tech guide, his look good.
