that looks awesome...love how the spokes are placed, creating a "lip" type effect in front of the spokes, as well as behind.

its real simple. i followed the steps someone else posted here.

basically i taped them off.
used a 320 sanding sponge and sanded all the areas i was painting
then cleaned them with rubbing alcohol
primered, two coats each wheel
painted with flat black, two cans total
clear coated.

i used duplicolor paint. i was gonna go out and buy some automotive paint locally but figured this will work for now. for the centercaps i just cleaned,primered and painted.
