Default Black EVOs

Ok, I know I mentioned these about three months ago, but after every possible thing going wrong with these wheels, I finally got them painted and mounted on the car. I apologize for the not so great images, but I have a crappy camera to thank for that. Anyways, hope you all like them.

Yeah, you can't get a real good look at the wheels themselves in those pics. From what I can see they look great though, I've been toying with the idea of black evos for my Black TA.

Holy ****...That looks amazing.

I wish HP would sell them like that. My Z is silver and that would look ******* incredible.

Those look pimp. I was thinking of doing the same to mine when I had them but got rid of them before I had a chance to paint them. Nice job man car looks great.

Sorry everybody, but my camera decided to take a dump on me and the pix came out pretty crappy. As soon as I get it fixed I'll be happy to post up some new pix, especially some close-ups. I'm glad you all like them.

They look great, love to see some pics of them from different angles when you get a chance

Did you paint the spokes yourself or have a shop do it? Happen to know what type of black / clear they or you used on them?

why did you paint the rivets black? Did you try unscrewing them first?

Wow, looks great!

How wide are the rims and what size tires are you running?

I'm running 18x9 all around. They are the hyperdark wheels. I had a shop paint the spokes for me. As for the type of paint and clear... no clue. ANd as for the rivets... they're fake. The HP EVOs are one-piece wheels. I had the rivets painted black because I think they look like crap with silver rivets. Just not what I wanted. I'm totally happy with the way they turned out.
