Duplicolor Pebble Beige (CG2). Not sure if I will keep the gold or go to a graphite color like some of these rims came from the factory.

Super clean, mingles! Looks great. I'm in CA - probably any local body shop could refurbish most likely?
A few years ago I picked up a set of OEM rims from a 94 (acorn style) to put on my 91. They were in pretty terrible shape, so I had them media blasted and I painted them myself.
Here is a freshly blasted wheel.
Finished product after several coats of Duplicolor flat black.
Looking back on the amount of time spent, I should have just had these powder coated and be done with it.

Realized I hadn't posted mine since I redid them. I've ran the LX450 rims for almost two years now and decided to switch back to my original LC rims. So I went and dug them out of storage and shot them in Duplicolor black wheel paint.

What kind of bike rack is that? I've been looking for one that carries like that!

I actually really like the gold color and think it compliments the beige LX trim very nicely. If you can get over the fact they look like subaru wheels from the early 00's, this is a winning combo.
Striking resemblance. But honestly, I do think it looks good.

Totally right
I made my own stencils just using high quality tape. Cut out the letters with an exacto knife and apply them to the wheel, tape off the border and paint. A trick I learned to keep the paint from seeping under the tape was to apply a light coat of your base color to the graphic first ( in my case that was the bumper black) this will seal the edge of the tape against seepage. Now apply your accent color ( in my case red). If your finished paint is fairly thick you may need to score it with your exacto before removing the stencil. For the red stripe I just taped off just inside the bead and painted the wheel bead. It will scrape off when the tires are removed or when you rub on the rocks but it's pretty easy to fix.

It's a Northshore nsr4. It's been great. After 10s of thousands of miles of trips the only damage to my bike I'd some pain rubbed off on the fork crown
