    I like the way the stock rims look but I want to give them a darker color because my car is Navy Blue with smoked headlights and taillights and I'm going to tint my windows so I want it to kind of fit the darker look. I want them to be like a sleek-shiny black color. What's the best way to do it? I don't want to use some spray paint and have them look all ghetto. My dad has one of those air-paint guns for painting cars if that might work better. Thanks in advance!

    If you take your time and prep right spray can jobs can look just as good as professional jobs.


    Sand, prime, paint, clear.

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
