what color is the car it hem rims is going on?


I thought about stripper, but my brother has access to a sand blaster machine. Im wondering if that would that fuck up the lip tho. I mean there are some scrapes on the lip, but I dont want to jack it up. He did another set of wheels for me, but they had no lip.

The car is black, so ill do them black. I dont know if I want to spend the money on powder coating. Isnt there a good wheels paint they sell at auto stores?

do a soda blast if possible..its way less harsh than the sand blasting..
