Paint details please...is that gloss? semi gloss? Looks like gloss to me. Can you take a daytime shot? I'm thinking of black wheels myself, but most EVOs with painted wheels use flat black. I think that looks more like the 4-spares look.

Anyway, paint details, please...

Haha, nah I didnt. Broke off my wheel lock, havent gotten a new lugnut :P

As far as the Paint goes. I used Duplicolor Gloss black, bottle #/color = DE 1613 Gloss Black

Yes I will take a day shot. AND im thinking about putting a silver Lip on it. Most people put either red or blue, but I want it to match my car...so, if I do it, it will be silver. Still need to do my back tires, only had 2 cans of paint at the store, hehe so Im rolling 2 Blacks, 2 Greys!!!! woot!! Haha. Ill of course post pics if in fact I do the lip. Ill need some Yays or Nays on it to decide wether I do it or not

CALIPERS!!!! Painting them black as soon as my G2 Caliper Kit comes in the Mail!! Then I will definately post some pictures...Apex Silver Evo, Gloss black rims/silver Lip, Black Calipers w/white brembo symbol, and CF OEM Hood....I THINK, THINK, It should all come out very nice. Post yays or nays for the silver lip though please.

Thanks alot for the comments, I really appreciate them.
