QUOTE(DanT @ Jul 4 2010, 11:49 PM) 7x15 steel wheels painted gloss black centers, and gloss grey rims...done at home with rattle can. Great for track wheels... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I really like the looks of your wheels, as a matter of fact I had already bought the paint (grey and Black) and was going with this color combination on my 8 spoke Empi's, but will now I will use the colors on my steel wheels. I only wish mine were 7". Mike |

QUOTE(76-914 @ Jul 5 2010, 10:19 PM) This is Hot Rod Black shot with an HVLP on top of Vari Prime. I don't recommend rattle can but it's your car. I like that! you can get good results with rattle can if you take your time though... and PREP. that's a good look on the westerns (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) just my .02 I really like black wheels on black cars or silver... but I think if you leave the edge of the rime(where it meets the tire) polished, it REALLY makes the wheels POP! otherwise the black rims kinda get lost next to the tire. |

Maybe that's what it was missing! I knew there was something that needed to be chromed haha |

I went rattle can on mine because it was cheap. I really didn't want to put any money into wheels I didn't intend to keep (although yes, they are still on the car). I did go with the Wurth satin black though. It came out great and I haven't had any problems.
The chrome rings were a birthday present from the wife. She got them from Auto Atlanta I think. I definitely agree that it needs chrome bumpers to finish the look, but I'm still waiting for a nice set to come along. |

I like the silver car with the black wheels, always a classic look.
