It took me a few months actually. I worked on them over weekends and hand sanded the stock paint down to the bare metal, the whole rim. It was a little more involved than the how-to's on here. I would say if I guessed, about 80 hours total. Midnight black metallic with GM victory red. Here's more pics fo ya.......

Thanks for the props!! I had to fill in the stock holes because the top two were 1/2 way visible. The pieces are just held on by 3m tape on the sides and an adhesive used on windshield for the center piece.

I was originally going to just leave the wheel stock gunmetal with the metallic black spokes, but then I had a revelation after I got the spokes sanded. After that I used paint stripper. The paint/taping off was the most time consuming after I stripped the paint.

Thank you! Definately sets the car apart from stock or even aftermarket wheels
