well what i did was just tape over the chrome around the emblem. and than tape over the surrounding area with newspaper to avoid over spray. just spray a really thick first coat. you ll see a little bit of the emblem. and than wait like 10 mins. than give it a good 2nd coat. it'll be fine. i have had it for over a month and tis fine

i wish i could tell you haha. those rims came with the car. im going to hopefully this weekend. paint around the rim. red =]

and to anyone who may have noticed. the picture of the rim. my tire looks a little flat. someone slashed my ******* tire =/. who ever did it. well lets just say i dont ever find out.

but i had to buy to brand new tires in the front. the ones i had orginally were nexem3000s and they were discontinued. so i got hankook venus. which are really good. 250 for two. pepboys ftw hahha

Is your tire flat, or is that how it's supposed to be?
