Paint or no paint?

[Junky DSM]

Man these wheels on here were on when I bought the car. Ugliest things in the world. I’m a little tight on money so I have to wait a while before getting new ones. My question is would. Black paint save these? Or are they too far in the ugly zone?

Jesus wouldn't even save those

Way to ugly. However, if you can't afford new ones for a while, I would try to cover up that chrome with some paint or plasti dip

Leave them chrome and sell them. There’s plenty of high school aged Honda owners that’ll pick those up with a summer job. They’re alright, but a DSM just isn’t the car for those. Come to think of it, I’ve seen a Geo Metro running around here with those on in the past.

streetraceboi is right. You can find decent rims for cheap on CL. Search 5x4.5 or 5x114.3. I wouldn't put any time and money into those wheels. Think older Honda's and jeeps have the same bolt pattern. You can pick up a set of decent used wheels for around $100. Junkyards are a good place as well but they tend to charge more.

If you put on aftermarket wheels, make sure to install hub centric rings. They're only $10-15.
