I'm interested in painting my GT3 wheels to the color in this pic. Anyone have experience with getting their wheels painted. Any pros/cons, or pics?

id suggest powder coating instead of painting. i had a set of bbs ch wheels painted in the same color you are considering for my audi s4 and they lasted 2 months before looking like sh*t. could have been the shops methods, but there is no doubt that powder coating is far more resistant to damage.

Rather than painting the rims, does anyone know if they can be bought new, already from the factory in this color?

Careful about powdercoating alloy wheels. Depending upon the construction and the temps used by the coater, you could weaken or induce excessive brittleness in the metal. As far as painting, most of our wheels are painted from the factory. If done correctly, it can be extremely duable. Preparation and experience are key though so find a good shop that will get everything right.
