Looks much, MUCH better painted than when it was chrome.
Plus the car is already lowered and all, looks pretty good!

Those are probably the ugliest wheels in the history of the automobile imo. But, they do look better black.

I'd be more worried about the front end.

Wheels aren't my cup of tea, but as long as you like them then to you.

If I were you.. I would have saved my arm strength for late night ************ with whip cream...NONfat.

Should have just sold the rims and get something better.. just my opinion. Kudos for trying though..

and an ACCORD sticker on the back window (maybe 3 feet tall, 3 feet wide), so everyone know's you are ballin outrageous with your dubz and what not.

but seriously that looks better than chrome. Still though, you should get something else over time.
