Default Trade rims?

I'm looking for a black set or white. I have the silver rims but I don't like them and for what I'm wanting to do to the bike they just won't look right. So if you wanna trade or sale some just let me know!

For the price of shipping rims you can buy a cheap sprayer and paint the rims any color you want. Even a decent rattle can brand will work for rims Better if you dismount the tires but if you apply enough tape it don't matter

In my experience the OEM "paint" on rims is of very sketchy quality. Almost any aftermarket paint will be as good. Or if you wanna go for longevity send them off and get them powder coated.

yeah I'm thinking I'll just paint them. I have everything I need at my dads house. I don't have a garage where I live so I keep all my important tools there. I also need new tires anyway so I guess it's the right time to paint haha.

just use a stripper on your rims to clean everything up on them. make sure you get everything off and rinse all the cleaner off very well. they make wheel paint which works pretty well. it'll flake eventually, but it can be repainted very easily. it's a lot cheaper than shipping too.
