Default Finally painted my rims

Before:


After:


That fact that the whites didn't match had bugged me for too long.
For $170CAD I think I got a sweet deal.
Sorry for the BIG pics.
I don't know **** about posting.
If anyone knows how to resize these pics feel free to edit. PEACE. peas and cheese
And yes I'm buying black lugz to match

The bodyshop I use regularly did it for me for $170CAD. If I have any problems I can take it back to them and they will fix it for free. Also, the mechanics I use did all the dismounting and remounting, balancing and everything for free.

I chose Lexus dark gunmetal color and they were sanded, sprayed and baked.

are those 17's? They look kinda big? Maybe it's just the pictures

but I agree take off the center caps and get those black lug nuts and you'll be good to go
