p.s. way to bring a dead thread back to life! hahaha

The guy above me grave dug this lol. I get you though, not everybody has money to buy rims. Just my opinion. All that matters is that you like it

um google "how to paint car rims" or something to that degree. you will find lots of info on what to do. make sure you sand and prime the surface very well or paint wont stick.

Looks decent. Good job on painting your rims. I like how the other guys who painted his OEM rims black but kept the circle L chrome on his center cap...

the paint holds up very well. i was VERY surprised. however, you may wanna get black lug nuts because they chip easily when u r torque wrenching it. it happens to people who even powdercoat their lugs so. yeah. good luck with that.
