like if you saw that Yellow s2k... good... but i just have too much stuff on my car that it couldnt pull it off..
Erik yea double check because if I"M wrong... and those are 35+ in the back.. that would be AMAZING lol

What did you do with the V2s ?
How hard was it to paint the non-machined part of the rims ??
Did you need to sand them down, primer then paint ?

oOOh.. well i sold them lol...
actually they sold the very next day somehow..
well first what you have to do is clean them with purple power or something equivelant..
then after you dry them off, you take like a 180 grit and you sand down the non machined face part... more like scuffing it.. no need to sand down... just enough for paint to grab..
then wash it off again... tape up the tires and stem..
here is the longest part... i literally taped up allll the machine face.. using a razor to cut off the rest of the excess tape...
then i just used black dupli color caliper paint.. and went at it!
let dry... and took the tape off and voila! there ya go!
