I wasn't expecting the whole rim to be painted. They came out wonderfully.

No on the RS. I just thought it would look good.

Looks good! The black wheels look really sharp with the chrome beauty rings and chrome center caps and lugnuts!

I agree about the beauty rings! but do they even make them in the 12" variety?

I have 2 sets of brand new ones. Hard as hail to come by, too.

Where do you even get tires that small? The chrome trim rings with chrome lugnuts should look very nice.

Anywhere that sells tires sells 12" ones. They usually won't be in stock, but are not hard to come by at all. My next set will be a lower profile set.

I have the factory "acorn" style lugnuts. I bought 16 brand new ones.
