Default painted the wheels

so i rushed a little on this. i have a b-day party to go to and my wife was rushing me to get done. anyway, i think it looks pretty good, i think later on i'll get them professionally done this color.

feedback![sm=massbounce.gif]


BEFORE


AFTER







so i was thinking. should i tint my headlights and taillights? i've been anti-tint on there but now that i look at it i think it would look good.

i also color matched the kamie to the wheels but since its such a dark color its hard to tell in the pictures....

It looks okay, but I still think I liked it better before.

thanks guys, after i saw lazer vikings on fortitude i had to do the same color...it was kind of hard with the tires on the rim, so its not as good as i wanted it to be (i'm a perfectionist) but it will do for now. i just got tired of how shiney they were and when my wife saw what i was doing and she said "but i liked your bling bling rims" i knew i was doing the right thing!

i'm tinting the tails for sure now. i may do the headlights but i want to get some hids first i think the stock yellow beam will look busted shining through the tint.

Looks good, IMO will look even better with tinted lights! Great job painting them.

Perhaps some Lamin-X for the headlights or maybe paint the housings?
