Default painting of the wheels? possible?

anyone know if it's possible to perhaps go to a body shop and get the factory wheels painted? if not, does anyone know if a 38 offset will fit a NB? i was thinking about the painting when i priced black wheels and saw that it is about impossible for me to get that out of my budget...

Hahahahahaha just mask them off and blast them with some duplicolor black thats about it. I wet sanded the painted part to give the surface some grabbing ability before blasting.

a stronger alternative is powdercoating. It is much more durable and will last longer with proper cleaning.
