If they are curbed up, you'll need to do some bondo work to fill in those curbed marks.

Next time post up on the forums first and ask for our opinions.

True, I spray painted wheels before too with some decent results, I may just fix them up with bondo and then spray paint them

Yup, really take your time though. I'd suggest spray it with primer first before you re-spray the color.

yeah I think i'm going to throw a new set of tires on them today just so I can drive the car haha

but when I have time i'll bondo them up and paint them, my buddy has a compressor big enough for my hvlp i'll probably just use it, definitely primer them too...

what size tires should I get? I believe 235/40 are on them right now, should i get 225/40's?

figured i'd ask ya guys this time before i screw myself again hah

235/40's would be stretched a tad on those wheels. Guy might have been running them on a very low car. 225/45 is OEM, but you'd be fine with 225/40.

they look alright, the passenger side rear is obviously curbed up the worst...

Not any worse than mine are curbed. I'm planning on refinishing them this summer but it's sliding down the list...

Looks great buddy. Love that subtle OEM+ styling.
