Default Painting factory Rubicon wheels??
Would painting the factory Rubi wheels help sell them faster? I know a lot of guys like the blacked out look. Any thoughts?

Default leave 'em alone
If you paint them, you'd lose the buyers that want stock wheels. Anyone wanting painted rims will paint them themselves.....

Most folks want the tires not the wheels ... I don't think there is that big a market for just the wheels?

I personally do not like them painted, I like the stock look. I say leave them alone if you plan to sell, let people buy their own paint.

I think stock would be more appealing to most.
