IMHO it looks fine as it is ... and would it make your car any quicker if it was painted :) ? Time and money that could be spent elsewhere improving your times

The tach also reads voltage when the car is not running but the key is turned on. That's what it's doing there(I hope).

I think painting the inside a ultra gloss black will look bad ass

I can't view the link.

Is it my computer? Or just a slow web site?

i'd spray that sandblasted rim with 2 coats of glossy clear and call it DONE.

Works great, not a slow link, maybe a slow connection derivited from your end? Are you on dial up?

Thats a lot of volts if the key is turned, what kinda battery is in there, I need two of those for my diesel truck!

yea those bbs's arnt the right lug pattern there for my bimmer, but i think im gonna tape off the outside lip and paint the center GLOSS black. And no i wasnt looking for a faster time! and the gauge pic is right, It had been warming up for ever its just the gauge only reads when it's half .nothing before that. and thers a coolant leak, so its kinda always low but it never overheats.

I blasted my stock alloys too. Regret not protectig the polished steel/chrome insert around the lug nuts. Real pain to re-polish!! Next time I'll bolt a wide washer in place before the blasting :(
I'm re-polishing the lip rim around the circumference of the wheel. Looks nicer that way IMHO. As too paint, with all the trouble to blast 'em, might consider powdercoating??
