Default Black Prostars (pics)

Painted my Prostars Saturday just to see if I was going to like them before I took them to get powder coated. We love them now This is my new daily rim/tire combo and will be for a long time My other set with the 28" drags will be painted the same. When the paint starts wearing off, off to the powder coater they go


Before polished:




After Painted:




Front 15x3.5's w/165 radials:



Rear 15x10's w/295/50/15 radials:

Wow......that is all I have to say! Seriously, with just a bit of paint you made your car look 1,000 time more sinister!!! That is exactly the kind of picture I was looking for to make up my mind on what to do with pro stars....I was wanting to paint them blak, and now.....they are gonna be exactly like yours!

Thanks for the great pictures, pewter and black were a match made in heaven!

Damn, that looks badass! If it wasn't for the whole caliper grinding deal, I would switch my convos for prostars after seeing yours.
