    Pretty nice. Very stealthy. Did you use a can? or did you go to a shop to get them done?

    Rattle Canned it... turned out nice imo. I paid to get my rims painted once and will never do that again cuz as soon as you get a scratch or nic your pissed ya know. With the can I could care less just pop it off and spray it again.

    Lol yeah. That's what I did with mine.
    But I didn't sand anything down. Just cleaned it and sprayed it.
    And no primer...
    Luckily, there's no chipping or anything, but there are some scratches.
    I've got 3 cans of the same paint at home... I haven't touched them to repaint my wheels.

    I would have to see this in person to like. The picture quality doesn't do it. There is too much noise going on in the picture.

    Ehh... On wheels? I don't think so.
    Maybe on a truck bed. And that's it.

    This one's okay. The Rhino Lining on the car actually reminds me of company's prototypes on the road, being covered up in "camouflage".
