Wheels are not spray painted. They are powdercoated.

I'm very scared to take off from a dig. I need a 9"... HELP lol

I'm not sure. Just make sure the lug nuts have that 60 degree angle on the tip. The lug nuts that came with my z06 wheels fit too but I wanted black. When you put the wheel on the studs, you can't just stick a lugnut and socket in there and tighten it. You gotta lift the wheel up to be able to turn the socket. My lug nuts require a 13/16s socket and it barely fits.

I think it would look great with a chrome lip, just a little break from all the black.

looks great man, loving the 'murdered out' look.
personally i would have looked for some 15x10's with 325/50/15's for a fatter/taller rear.

I already have wheels with a chrome lip. All black prostars/fummit stars look a lot better without a big chrome lip.

It cost 250 for all 4 wheels and center caps. Make sure when you get ur tires on and balanced, you refit the wheels. I mean put them on and tighten the lug nuts and turn the wheels by hand to see if the wheel weights hit the caliper. I didn't do that and some of my wheel weights got ripped off.

Do those sumitt wheels seem to be pretty lightweight?

I love the look!
