Im not good with paint so I would need noob steps of what to buy and what to do?
Pretty much said exacty what I was thinking. And yes, a big +1 for the gunmetal color wheels. OP, just do some searches on google and see what some people tried and pick what you think is the best method. Maybe a local pepboys or comparable store has spray paint specifically for wheels (mine does).

But give me a few minutes to get a write-up typed up and i'll post it here.
*edit: I actually don't have any pics of the painting process itself, but I'll get you a product list and write-up going here.

I'm working on it. Hopefully I have enough pictures saved on my photobucket from when I did my wheels considering my hard drive crashed a month or so back and I lost all my documents =/

99-00 tails FTW. and paint the rims gunmetal like others said. not hard at all, basically clean them up with soap sand them down, primer, and the color paint. lots of patience and prep though, but well worth it. have you thought of painting the grill as well to color match?
I can't find smoked ones without the orange

You could always get these and use VHT Niteshades to tint them yourself

This is the only thing I found, but they look kinda lame because the lens is completely see through... it makes them look kinda cheap.
