eh, sorry but the black takes away from the style of that wheel. it would look much better "imo" in silver. or polished all over. even the red shows the core pattern better. the black just makes them look like steelies.. nice wheels tho

black/ "RED" RIMS are played out! Imo.
try another color that makes the rim stand out more.
sweet wheels none the less

I was tempted to spray a bit of Gunmetal on top of it, but I was just keen to get them done as I had a few interruptions through the day and they needed to be done asap.

i didn't want them shiny tho - thats the thing. I was even going just to leave them Matt Black with no clear coat but in the end gave it a couple coats of Clear anyway just to save the paint. but good point - and taken on board.
