Painted my wheels, see what you guys think
Keep in mind my car is a little dirty the desert gets dusty and when it rains it makes car very dirty. I used duplicolor gunmetal grey with metal flake and some clear coat.I thought it turned out pretty good. I painted all but the outside lip of the rim. Tell me what you guys think.

And Jon88se, I painted it like this for a reason, IMO I think it looks better like this.

Whoa those look great. I don't even like that style wheel normally, but I think it looks really good, especially with the silver lip. And I also think it contrasts nicely with the rest of the car's color. Nicely done.
