Nice wheels!

Black with polished lip looks awsome.

The black is sweet, the silver looks like every other "alloy" wheel they put on stock cars nowadays.

I do like the white lettering on the tires. I tryed to do this with a paint pen, but it slowly turned to brown. :(


I also agree that the black with chrome lip is getting played out. But they do look good.

The black wheels look good, thats why everyone is doing it. If it looks good then do it. Try some acetone to get the white off the tires.

Try what i did on my konig gtr's . I left them silver then painted them with rustoleum hammer finish in black. The paint is super durable cause its made for tool boxes and appliances, When the paint draws up, it shows tiny silver dots(very subtle). They sell it at walmart for 4.00 a can and it takes 2 cans to do for wheels. Silver works good too. they also have it in bronze. By the way, the can says black, and thats how it comes out of the can, but when it dries, it is a real dark gunmetal.

Next time you are at lowes or walmart, go look at the cap of the can and it will give you an idea of the finish of the final product. Trust me!! no one will have a finish like that. As you apply the paint layer by layer and it draws up, it will sorta fish eye all over the place, but in a good way. You can add layer by layer and watch it do its majic. Ill put pics of the car on here soon as soon as i go to one of those free sites that host pics. I guess we can get free gallery space on here too, cant we??
