Default black asa jh3's (painted)

Right now i'm running falken 512 on the stock bbs's ('04) and i'd like to get better tires for auto cross and summer driving. However, in my budget I won't be able to get them until sometime in the winter. So, I was thinking of getting some asa jh3's (cheap $99 at tirerack), painting them, and putting the 512's on them for fall/winter. I would repair the dings and stuff on the bbs's over the winter and put 615's on them next summer.

Any pictures of painted jh3's (any color)? They look a lot like the 06 stock wrx wheels, anyone else notice this?

Yup, I think that's what i'm gonna do. When winter rolls around i'm going to see if someone wants to sell me their jh3's or i'll just buy some from tirerack and paint them black or pink. The only reason I wouldn't do pink is to avoid the vandals.

I just painted mine bronze and did a quick mount check. The stock lugs look like they would have trouble fitting on the studs due to the deep dish. Does anyone run different lugs with these wheels?

Trying to remember. I'm sure i just reused the stock lugs. They should fit no problem.
Are you sure it's asa jh3? Because they aren't a deep dish wheel? unless you mean the hole the lugs fit in.
