looks good. just did mine about two weeks ago cuz i was bored....

 

Nice!I'm glad you painted the center caps as well
It doesn't look as good when people don't paint them

 

Looks good. I've been considering on doing mines, but haven't gotten around to it just yet.

I wonder how it would look lowered? Photoshop anyone?

I'm curious because mine is lowered, so that would give me a general idea of how mine would probably look.

 

I totally concur that this is an excellent way to add a custom touch or even fix up less than stellar rims. I picked up a used set of MY01 AP1 rims that had some curb rash. I used the approach advocated in the BMW forums (Wheel scuff repair techniques) for major blemishes and simply sanded and buffed out minor rim edge stuff.

I too used DupliColor but opted for pearl graphite color and self-etching primer. The lips were left uncolored. I added Rick's hub badges and used black anodized aluminum TR413 valve stems. This was a winter '07 - '08 project. Here are my results:
