Looks like you did a good job man. I like em better now that you cleaned-up the tires a bit. It seems like it makes the wheels look bigger too. I'm not a huge fan of black wheels but whatever floats your boat. I know a lot of guys like em. I'm too old I guess

nice car dude what kind of paint did you use and how much did this cost because im thinking of doing something very similar either powder coating them at a shop or doing them myself whichever is cheapest

could i use black epoxy paint cause i believe some people who have done it themselves with normal paint are seeing chips from the paint after wear and tear sets in where as i read in some thread that epoxy paint never chips so could i used that instead?? and what type of sand paper did you use?
