Default Painted My wheels

Well, I got tired of my old wheels so I wanted to try something new. Couldn't afford new wheels so I decided to just paint the ones I already had. I didn't have a lot of time so I only had a chance to finish two of them. Stripping off the paint was a bitch. Well let me know what you guys think.

This is what the wheel looked like before it was painted.


Sorry, no pic of the wheel when it was stripped.

After being painted.






Here it is on my car.

Looks so much better, except I would have opted for the same color white as your car (looks off, but may just be the lighting)

yeah I like the old color, but I just got tired of the same ol look. Just wanted something a little new.

And yeah, I was thinking about using the same color as my car but they only had it small cans. So I just went with the white wheel paint they had. Also, the clear coat I used made the wheels turn out yellow. It was whiter before the clear coat.

It's a polished lip. The lighting hitting it makes it look white.
