Default OEM wheels with some paint

just needed some cheaper tires for the s2k the ap2v2's are NICE but tires for them are $$ and I drive a good bit so off on a wheel hunt I went!

found a set of ap1's with junk tires for 150 not bad

the silver on silver on silver on silver was to much so I picked up some paint what do you all think?

before


after


only have one done so far so no pics with all 4 on but they are on the way! just takes a while masking and cutting the edge with a razor.

Not really to my taste, but I can appreciate the work. Matte black faces might look good.

Agree with s2ko0o. Matte might look a better.

Interested in seeing these mounted. I really like this look on AP2v2s.

it kinda makes the thick area of the spoke disappear that's what I like about it.

how did you mask yours? just tape and razor? its a PAIN!

i actually did it wildly. i painted it then used brakekleen to quickly wipe off excess. it took off a lil bit of the luster but they still look great!
