    Think I made a bad color choice (Rotas)

    I got a set of full royal gunmetal slips and wasn't really expecting them to be that shiny and am not diffing the look very much. Now I'm wishing I just went with black.

    Should I sell and just get a set in the color I really want or paint the ones I have.

    I feel like an idiot...

    Have any pics?

    I'd sell them since they're new, less hassle, less downtime and unless you're getting them professionally painted, they won't look as good or last as long.

        Did they screw up and send you the wrong rims? Cause that can't be gunmetal.

              The whole wheel is gunmetal except for the face which is polished.

                  IMO it looks good as is, but powdercoating them would last alot longer and look better than painting them...

                    Those are gunmetal machined face slips.. They are also nearly impossible to get.. Leave them how they are, they look really good rolling..

                      those are cool, I like them a lot. the ones I have look like this. I was thinking of spraying them gold and keeping the lip polished.

                          I have the set of gunmetal centers and polished lip rotas. I dig them. The all polished ones just don't do anything for me..

                            paint them. if you do it right they will look fantastic and last a long time.. I spray bombed mine 3 years ago and they still look great.
