black 10 spokes on pewter SS
i love black wheels but couldnt afford new wheels yet plus i want to put some r compounds on these for track wheels so i figured i'd paint them black, i think it still needs tint to compliment it but i think it looks pretty good whats your opinions

spray can, i took a long time preparing them, they looked better then before i painted them, its glossblack with some clear coat but kind of look matte-black from a distant up close you can kind of tell but im pretty impressed i like it, now im able to save money from wheels so i can do suspension first

just regular krylon spray can, i took all the wheels off the car but left tires mounted, sanded all the inside of the wheels and the face and every part of it really good with a red scuff pad then painted like 3 coats of black, and like 2 or 3 of clear, if i were you i'd probably paint them while the tires were off then once they were mounted if any of the paint was scratched off just tape up the tire and hit it again, thats the beauty of black
