I have a 2000 that I would like to change the rims to black. Did you paint yours or do you have an aftermarket rim. It looks great.

I just took the original wagon wheels and painted them gloss black. It was a cheaper alternative at the time to buying new ones. Its been a few years and they have held up well... was thinking of plasti-dipping them for a better finish but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
