Coloured Rims?

I have a Dark Metallic Green, Astra MK4. I want rims, however, i dont think silver/black would look good. I have seen some cars around with rims the same colour of their car.

What my question is, How much does it cost to respray rims to a colour of your choice, and if you could reccommend someone cheap, im from the Midlands, UK.

All answers much appreciated.

Answers:
Um could do it yourself, or could just dive through a puddle of paint! A good finish is not as easy as it looks, ask your local car body-shop how much they will charge; you'll get a much better colour match, a much better finish and a paint job that will last longer than it takes to dry!

Some things you can economise on some you can't, surely if it is worth doing at all.it is worth doing right!

Good luck, should look good when done.
do it yourself
cheaper
Maybe try it yourself? I was thinking of painting mine myself. If the tire isn't on yet it would seem pretty easy, no tape masking needed, you can just spay the whole wheel.

Automotive metal primer, then a bunch of coats of the automotive color you want, then maybe a few coats of clear coat. A walmart will have automotive paint, but go to a auto parts dealer for higher quality.
Matching colour rims look great if the rest of the car does, without the bodywork they make the car look like a toy.
they make special rim paint that you paint on yourself. i live in the U S but it might be the same there.. here you can find the paint in autopart stores.
goodluck
