Arrow Flat Grey Refinished 18s with Nittos [Pics]

Re-finished my 18s with a custom flat grey automotive paint. The paint has a touch of brown to it (in certain light) which looks nice with the red car. Also added some new Nitto NeoGens (225/40s). This will be my summer setup..

Comments?














And I have black wheels for my winter setup...

I would have done them with satin at least. It's going to be a bitch to keep them clean.

Well, i think a little metallic in them would have helped. But, it's cool being different.

Yea I thought that too. But so far no issues -- and brake dust doesn't show up on them at all.

Yes I definitely thought that when I first had them done.. but they are a lot darker, and the color really grew on me.

Yes I agree.. that's why I am happy I still have my black ones for winter. There are so many redone black rims out there I wanted to do something a bit different, but still keep them somewhat dark.

Would never have chosen that color myself if I was going to spend all the time painting them.
Black > Plastic
