All Black AR Rebel 18x10-Got bored So Ive had this wheel awhile and always planned to paint it all black to get an idea of what an all black wheel with a deep lip would look like in person. I think it looks great, now to find a wheel I like and have my friend actually do a professional job haha.

Well I got bored again and the spokes are now in the first coat of white 
If I dont like it theyll go back to black but ill post pics of both ways later in the week
I do wish i could find a whole set but since theyre not made anymore i might have to settle for some TT2 in either scheme.

Well the lazy way didnt work since the paints reacted and bubbled up. Ive spent a bit of time with a scuffing pad, some sandpaper, a razor and cotton swabs to get it back to chrome spokes(more like polished now) but yet still have the black lip. Once i get it fully cleaned ill take pics like that before hitting the spokes with white.
Island Grown ill see about a white lip and black spokes as well though i was told it would look very "ethnic" to do so haha.
Might as well do a little R&D and post the results for those who too want to get creative with their wheel colors.

Pics with the polished spokes and black lip. As you can tell there is still some clean up to be done if i wanted to keep this look but my fingers couldnt take anymore sand paper work. I like it better than I thought, probably due to it looking like brushed stainless and not just chrome.
