Default Black GXP rims






Yes, I'm gonna paint my lugnuts, too, I have some black center caps on the way, and I'm getting new valve stem caps.

Can't wait for my CF Inferno!

Looks pretty good. Did you spray paint them? I want to get my stock wheels powdercoated black, spray paint doesn't last too long.

Yeah, I sprayed them, it's temporary. I'm getting them powdercoated for Christmas. I remember someone saying they sprayed theirs and after 2 years, the wheels are still good.

I spray painted a set of wheels on my Sentra. Took my time, laid down a lot of coats, it looked great for about a year, then they started chipping, and looked like crap.

They look great on the car though, gonna be nice when powdercoated.

Looks alright. It'll look better with the black lugs and caps.
