Default Painted my SSR's.

Painted my SSR's over the weekend. Was quite a bit of work getting the lip taped off well. Actually only one wheel is done. I'll post more pic's once I have some rubber on them and they are mounted. By the way I painted them White.

seen em' in person. these wheels are awsome, and the paint job is perfect.
at first glance i wasnt sure about them, but they grew on me like a bad case of herpes. now one of my best friends might find his car on blocks
they are going to look great on the newest member of the family, a silver ek

I need the center caps if you have them think you can give me a good price.

I actually heard good things about those tires. I might give them a try.

Duplicolor SUV paint. I think it's some sort of GM White. Also Duplicolor clear and some zinc coated primer I had lying around.
