New Wheelsish!
Very professional looking job. But heres my outtake on black rims....lots of accords and civics around here with their steel wheels like to take off their hubcaps, to make them think they have "racing wheels". And when I first see black wheels, I think of black steelies. Black wheels are not my thing, but thats just me.

By the way, nice wheels Azure. I think the car looks real nice and clean. The red Mitsu emblem is a nice touch.

Very nice man! It looks so clean... I'm thinking for a while now about painting my stock rims black or gunmetal ( my RA is black). Do you know what should i expect if I do it myself with the duplicolor wheelcoating??? Or i you have any others suggestion about the right paint to use for that job. Also, does the paint will stay for a while if i keep my stock rims only 7-8 months per years? (i remove them for winter) thanks!!!
