i used rustoleom (sp?) wheel paint from autozone. basically clean your wheels real good, sand them, i used 80 grit, tape up your tires, and do light coats. my buddy ****ed up two of my wheels so i gotta redo them. heres a couple quick shots, not the best quality. cars pretty dirty, its been raining the past couple of days.




good news is i have some new rubber coming this week. bfg gforces 245/50's

took them off. ill do a write up at somepoint, but im tired as hell right now. i still have to sand down the other two wheels and redo them. the key is doing a couple light coats, rather than two heavy ass ones. as soon as the weather breaks ill get some pics. i need to clean her up before i head down to car week in ocean city

Damn, I misread your post I thought you were painting your car, not the wheels, either way I would vote for gunmetal though
