Default My stock to black wheels

Got bored today and decided to paint my wheels. I was sick of lookin bone stock rollin around, gives me a little bit under the belt . Took me about 5 hours because I took my time , sanded and prepped each wheel. Better Day pics tomorrow! Im goina clean up the tires too. You get the idea tho, but let me know what you think its not the best job in the world, got some overspray on the tires in some spots! but it was my first attempt




base coat
you can see the grey primer I used , first coat of black paint semi-gloss
first coat drying

haha ghetto





just drying... dam i really need to clean my rubbers off!

just a quick pic while the car is still half way in the air, started runnin out of daylight.




centercaps and new brakes goin on next weekend! hope ya all liked it

I much prefer black spokes w/chrome or silver walls, which is why my sled will be sporting Rota D2s in Royal Black by this time tomorrow morning.
