yeah i agree white wheels look bad ass i had a set of 17 impacts that where powderd coated white,but they got dirty real fast. i know have a set of stock se-r wheels that i painted gunmetel and they came out great if you like i can e-mail some of the pic's i have to you.

no problem give me a sec to get my camera ready /

What we did was tape off the rims i had the tires still on,cleaned them up with some soap and water then scrub them real good with with a green scrup pad once that was done we used some acetone cleaner on a rag and wiped them down all over. sprayed the paint wich we got at autozone let it dry.then used some clear coat to seal them.

i say we cause me and John (nismodriver)he did the first one for me then i did the rest after he should me how.

I know I didn't do them to my 200, but my ex-NX2000 had flat black and my '02 Altima is painted gunmetal (graphite) with that DupliColor paint.

Here are a few shots:
