Yeah the cleaning part sucked, the scotch briting wasn't any better. My wheels really sucked because of the spokes.

 

wheels look good

 

I've wanted to do this too. What do you cover the tires up with?

Looks really good, btw.

 

Masking tape and news paper.

 

Paint looks great...wheels look great from a side profile...I don't like wheels that bulge outward when looking at it from the front or rear of a vehicle. Just my opinion.

 

You used can paint..wow boss great job. Looks amazing!

 

Looks great! I've always loved the tenzo type m wheel. But never had the right 18" size for me, but u went with 19's. Cheers

 

Not bad...not bad at all.

 

did you have to wet sand the clear after you where done???

 

Nope. Not really needed for wheels. Plus if you wetsand the clear you would have to buff it to make them shine, and that would be a major job for the type of wheels that I have.

 

I was never a fan of the wheels, but they look good on your car.

 

4 cans of color
2 cans of clear
i can verify! I've painted numerous sets of rims, and thats usually the case. they came out great! good work.

rust-ol = good choice of paint

Looks good, friendly has on his evo:

 

So you didnt sand them? How are they still holding up.

 

With sand paper? No. Scotch brite is very course so yes I did sand them, but with scotch brite.

They are holding up very well, not one flake or chip to this point. I have been through the carwash about 30-40 times. Just a note to every one though. Don't get tire foam on the paint for any length of time. It will leave spots that will have to be buffed out.
