Tried a DIY but failed so civichick bailed me out .....
My girlfriend and I were bored so we decided to hit up wally world. We decided to do an arts & craft project so we picked up some supplies !
I had a set of oem itr wheels that my buddy tried to paint black but they didn't turn out so good, so I figured I'd mess them up some more
My girlfriend wouldn't let me do any of the work b/c I was 2 impatient to tape off the tires properly so she took over !
My girlfriend thought she was serious business
but she couldn't breathe and got stuck ...lol
Finally back to life
Stripping them down w/ aircraft remover
Reason she wouldn't let me touch them ( i'm 2 damn impatient to tape properly )
Along the way
Finished product... I need to put my bumper on properly .. yuck
Maybe spent 25 minutes on each wheel getting them ready
-Hit them w/ aircraft 2-3 times , then 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint, 3 coats of clear ....
It was fun and worth the $20 or so .... We are going to wet sand the 2 finshed ones and paint the other two wheels 2maro !
I"ll get pictures of them on the car as soon as she finishes my other 2 wheels

Lol, I thought that was your girlfriend's foot in the pic with the ghetto tape job. I was like "wow, that's a hairy leg." then I noticed that she's wearing pants.
nice job man can't wait to see them all done sitting on your car
