They look great!

The problem with an all black wheel is that there's no color contrast and from a distance it just looks like a steelie.

Heck, even up close it doesn't look much better than a steelie.

But like above...that's excellent!

Re: (eli_vang)

the paint itself looks really good!

But Im not sure which one looks better... yours or with part of the lip painted as well (pardon the crappy chop)

Re: Painted Ls RIM (Proper)

Yeah I'm curious what kind of paint you used as well.. Either way that has always been my favorite wheel set up (LS with polished lip look). Good to see there are others out there with taste in a non-Rota set up

Re: Painted Ls RIM (99hatchboy)

you should pick up H centers. I always don't like when the LS rims are on hatch's with the acura logos on there
