Default I was super bored so I painted my big 4..Once you go black?

I had some Duplicolor bug shield paint so I painted my 4x114.3 ITR rims. If you have never seen this paint before it's used to make temporary bug shield on cars. It washes off easily. I should have used photoshop instead, but this way i can actually drive the car around and front like I have black rims. If I can find a paint to match this effect then I might permanently paint them black. The paint has a glitter black/blue look to it. Sparkly!

The tint? It's really not that dark. Defintley need tint for hot Texas summers. As for the wheels, they have a nice satin look to them.

you can wipe it off with your hand. Yes it would, and it comes in clear as well. I thought about painting my rims clear, but I didn't want them to disappear.

Iam a sucker for white on white, but the black could be good track wheels. Brake dust sucks
