Painted My LS Rims! (56K COME IN)

I got really bored and I was getting depressed about not having my car so I went to Cambodien Tire and got some Sand paper to polish the lip, some Primer, Metalic Wheel Paint and Rim Clear Coat/Cleaner and had some fun!

Here's how it ended up..

ADD: orig.jpg for original size..

Since I did this Ive had 2-3 messages from some people from town wanting me to paint there rims.

Just wanted to show you guys, haha Im sorta proud..

I have red wheel lugs, so I keep no center caps, but there not painted, I might use the left over paint to do them too..

kinda looks like the rims of the vtec model del sol, hey if you like it thats all that matters. For the people that diss other people keep it to yourself, sometimes things don't have to be said, but they are said.

Well, I use these rims on the track, I have a set of 16'' RNR's for the street, I just thought it would be cool to change it up, because they were all scratched and stuff...
