Looks sick man. The FMIC gets a lot of attention sticking out all siver and ish, and black makes it a little more subtle a car. I like. But yeah, the end tanks look a little strange still silver. But, to each his own...

not bad, how much did it cost you to do the wheels like that.

so you just taped off the tire area and painted? or did you dismount the rims first? i'd like to do this, but how long does it take?

how badly would they chip each time you got tires mounted/dismounted?

This maybe a helpful tread for those who are intrested in painting their stock rims. I think they look a hell of a lot better than the stock color. The stock color IMO only looks good on the Silver EVO.
