What are you looking to achieve? Coz if it's something a bit diff then sell them and buy AM wheels.

Color if you p/c them?

depends on what kind of colour or what kind of finish u want mate. P/C colours are limited but there are some good choices.

http://www.multicoat.com.au/uploads/43/ ... tion16.pdf will give you some colours u can choose.

here's mine just to show you what it can look like.

When i was looking for my lib, a guy had powdercoated the R B wheels in black...they were on a white 3.0R B but didnt look too bad actually...maybe a little undersized though?

By the sounds of what you have written - I'd go AM for sure. Plenty to choose and if buying new then you won't have to worry about any repair work like you would if you PC'd your current wheels.

Try looking for a rim that gives you the choice of colours? Big and chrome is terrible (Yes Chrome hater ftw :D) Ask around your local Rim sellers if they have any rims that come in different colours etc, Maybe even Ebay can help you? but they again gutter rash is a rims worst enemy. Imo id just ask around
