Damn, I really didn't expect to get this many replies to this topic. I like all the pics or the black wheels. Especially the ones that are ALL black.

To those that did this themselves, did you pull the tires off the wheel to do it? I don't think it would turn out too well if not. My wheels were kinda beat up when I got the car. I think they've all got some sort of curb rash. What(if anything) can be done to repair that?

I just masked off my tires when I did it...we did my friend's wheels on his SRT-4 too...

I'll get a picture that does the wheels justice next time he comes by.



Here's some more pictures of my car with the wheels painted...
