So I have the 16" rota slipstreams...they are superlight and the tires will be done very soon.  In my garage, I have my 06 stockers with a fresh set of Kumho's on them.  These wheels are heavy and I've been saving them...BUT the stockers are so BLAH to me.  Should I break out the rattle can & go for it?  what colors are good to go with black & still have the red calipers show through?

any examples?  anyone here good at the red lip vinyl or paint?

I might just wear these tires out, and rattle can these bitches and save up for some race tires, or snow tires, or dirt tires for secondary set.  who's up for some AWD doriftos to finish off these tires!

I'm thinking of painting my stockers. I've seen some of the threads at clubwrx and NASIOC and it's real tempting, so perhaps this weekend I might do it. If I do, I'm  going to go with a dark gray or black. I'm also considering bronze....to kind of match the specks on the Java Black Pearl paint.
