A little food for thought about color matching your wheels...I originally bought a set of Mopar steel winter wheels at a good price ($86 ea) and was planning on painting them to color match my Jeep (bright silver). After shopping around I discovered powder coating was going to cost me $80-100 a wheel and having them professionally re-sprayed was around $125 a wheel. So that turned an $86 wheel into a $200 wheel pretty quick. Not to mention I needed spacers. That's another $50 a wheel. So my wheels on the cheap would have cost me $250 ea. Needless to say I bought a set of nice alloy wheels with the correct backspacing for less money. I guess I could have rattle canned it with the Dupli-color factory paint for cheap but I figured it would probably look cheap. I see a lot of guys rattle can their wheels black or bedliner them but you really cant screw up black or bedliner.
