I'm debating whether I should paint my stockies or not.

I'd say if you are gonna paint them...to maybe find someone locally that's getting rid of their stockies plus tires...so you'll a)have something else to ride on... b)can change whenever you want c)won't ruin your wheels.
Also, have you thought about powdercoating? I think it looks much better up close and ultra-durable.

I actually like the look when painted black, but they can look cheesy if not done well. If you're going to pay for powdercoat you might as well get some new wheels IMO.

At the end of the day, do what you want. You drive it after all.

I'll just wait until I pick up some new wheels.

Yeah, I'm holding out for new rims - Black Slips or Bronze Heliums. I know they are popular, but I go days (sometimes weeks) without seeing another EP3, so what the hell - I like them and they are lightweight.

Good luck on your wheel search. :)

I saw someone else here with white stockies and didn't like it.

I was looking into the Konig Quickk, 13lbs and 15x7, cheap too :p

The bottom is the Konig Network, also 15x7, not sure of the weight.

Konigs look way better than painted stockers.

Leave the stockers stock!

The paint will chip off inevitably. Especially when you have to mount new tires, the rim of the wheel will get chipped pretty badly and it will look like crap. Just get new wheels...16"s look good on the EP.
