I jus got these SIs the other day for a steal, but they were painted different colors, one was like bronze and black and silver mixed together, one was bronze, and two were black, with a layer of bronze under the black. Well, anyways i went to the store and bought 2 cans of aircraft stripped and stripped all the paint off. This is how they look now. What color should i paint them? Im painting my car, candy apple red. something different. But my question is, What size tires do i need for the rims if they are going on an integra. I plan on slamming it!

Personally, I wouldn't paint them. I would polish them and toss on some 205/50-15's

Polished wheels look sexy on red

It's a pretty invovled procedure but it will remove any minor scratches. Here's one DIY that was written a while back ago. Too bad his pics don't work anymore :(

i think it's worth it. It looks better than painted wheels IMO

It all depends on how much time you want to spend. Here are some pics of some polished blades:

polish them and either 195/55 - 195/50 - 205/50 tires. those surface scratches will come out after the first couple grits. I had REALLY bad curbs and some deep gouges in my blades before I polished them, so deep that I hit them with the dremel first, then after lots of progression with sandpaper here is how they ended up.
