soo im redoing my si's due the the oxidization orelse i wouldnt mess with them to much. was thinking about polishing them but i like up where there is alot of salt use in the winters. so had an idea, face gunmetal grey dupli-color rim paint, gloss black rim paint on inside of spokes, and white or polished lip maybe black too.? i just wanna see if anyone has had a cool idea for si's?

Sounds like a lot of different shades of paint... might look too busy. What do you think about clear coating them? Someone was telling be about a product that clear coats highly polished wheels:

if i put like 4 coats of the clear coat from like dupli-color would that work? and whats the highest u think i should sand before i clear coat because i dont know all tht much, maybe add adhesion promotor or something then clear? and i finally decided there gonna be polished with the inside a metallic bronze color. looks like itll work great!

EgGuy's got it. If you're gonna put work on your wheels, rock steelo's in the winter.
