    Would these need painting?

    If one was to buy these rims 16x6.5 Wolf Rim - tubeless black primer coated, and wanted to keep them black, I imagine they would still need painting - correct?

    Why would you buy them? Nothing wrong with the rims you have mate !

    Dunno if you can put 255's on 6.5" rims either.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I've got a set of 6 of the exact ones, and so has a friend of mine and yes I would paint them. I'm painting mine the same white as the 110, but the other vehicle is staying black.
    I'm also fitting 255/85/16 BFG MT's to mine.

    They are heavier, and tubeless.

    Edit: Actually you can get both tubeless and "tubed" Wolf rims....
