there is no lip on the blades to polish, and thats why you're disappointed. So take that terrible looking bronze paint off and hand polish them back to their OEM condition.

I have some beater rims from like a 90 teg... those needed paint. But if there's nothing wrong with them in the first place then let them be.

Blades where made to shine and not be painted. The only think I can see as an improvement for blades are fully polishing them or chroming.

I think imo these are the worst wheels to paint, it just does not look right and is not an improvement from it's original state.

I might try Red, Royal Blue or Champange on the next time around or on the webs/mesh.
