Hello,
I bought my E in Aug 2009 and I started doing some stuff to make it my own. In regards to the wheels, I had a guy take my rims off and paint it Glossy Black...I left the middle Honda logo unpainted...I think they turned out pretty good...I'll post some pics...the pics are pretty bad b/c its dark outside....and the wheels are dirty b/c its been raining alot in NC...
ps. i wanna sleep in my E, but i think my breath'll make the new car smell fade

Looks great, keep the pictures coming

And don't worry about the new car smell fading, just try to keep all the windows closed

You could do it yourself if search Youtube but I had a friend do it for me.
He charged me 150 for materials
250 for labor
90 for a tire shop to take off, and put back on
so it was 490 total...
Heres a video I watched,

wow, a friend charged you more for labor than it cost for materials? some friend... for that price you could have almost got a set of black wheels and kept or sold your factory ones and ended up paying less than that. just saying

 

[Yoda E SC]

dont get me wrong, i like the look, just kinda expensive.

Yeah..haha...I should've tried to do it myself...but i'm lazy and rich..NOT

i'm lazy and rich..NOT

i am half of that statement myself but the other half that i am not causes me to do alot of things myself that i may not have attempted if i was both things ins said statement

They look fantastic! Should have came that way from honda.

Okay, I'll step out of my usual curmudgeonly stance and say:

WOW! Those really look sharp! I have never seen a rattle can paint job come anywhere near the shine that you have on your wheels. Well done.

That looks sweet! I Like the new '09 six spoke alloys. I wish I had some on my '08. I love black wheels. I hate chrome and bling... stealth is always cooler than flash!

Black wheels=smooove. I also can't afford to do it properly ..aka: buy aftermarket wheels, and that makes youtube vids and rattlecans very tempting but still.........I'm still waiting for my pair to swell. I have rattlecanned alot of the trim on my E. all very nice.;-)
