This car is beat as fuck with some rust showing up from the salt, so why spend the cash on oem rims when i can paint/prime/clear for under 50.00. Not looking to dish out money on looks right now.Rather get it tuned and know it wont blow up lol.

I say if you have the money and nothing else to buy ,do it . If not go with paint maynee
