Painted some gray '08 Vette wheels...

So I picked up a set of OEM '08 Vette wheels from a guy for $350. I decided to try something different and came up with this. They're going on a black '99 WS6. sorry for the quality, I took the pic with my phone. The red is actually richer looking in person. I'll get mounted pics with a better camera soon.

Just the wheel it self looks like it was done good, but I'm my opinion looks like poop. But, put them on the car then post some pics. I have always seen wheels by themselves that look like crap but when you put them on the car it's a completely different story.

Can't really make an opinion without seeing them on the car.

They would definitely look amazing with machined or polished area where the red is.

I mounted on the front ones, and they actually look decent. MUCH better then on their own. I'm waiting for the wheel adapters to be made for the rears, but they should be done today, so I'll mount them and take pics for everyone.

Eh... I was thinking about it, but then figured the black on the inside would eventually get beat up and chipped. I REALLY don't want to paint these again. ON the car, you don't really pay attention to the inside of the wheels anyway.
