We did gloss black paint. We didnt wetsand/buff the clear so it isnt realy that glossy. Yes we put the whole car on jack stands over the weekend and took the tires off and left them in the garage for paint and such.

First of all I gotta give a BIG thanks to Mike (mkulrey13) and Dana (dayta)!!!!! It woulda sucked ass to sand and paint those wheels myself. I cant get over how much I love my new painted rims!!!! The red calipers really sets it off. I also like danas idea of painting the bowties in the center cap black. I missed my wing, It had to go back on..... Thanks again guys for the help.

Edit: And im SOOOOO glad no punks came around and pushed my car off the jackstands at night. Haha.
