Do those have a slight red to them? Or is that just the reflection? (first pic)

What kind of paint did you use ? Did you do something before applying the paint like sandblast them before ?

Thanks

Help, my hubcaps fell off! Oh wait, those are wheels painted black.

I'm sorry, but I don't like them, specifically for the aforementioned reason.

I'm not a fan of the black rims on black car look either. Other than that, it's a really clean S5.

if the car was black it would look nicer to me, but it looks good for what it is right now, seeing how it is cheaper to keep it blue instead of painting it

What did you use to paint them? Also black rims with a polished lip look sexy.

Good job. I did the exact same thing to my WRX a couple years ago (black on black). The paint I used was a Rustoleum "Hard Hat" or something like that. It has a picture of a hard hat on the can.
I've got probably close to 50K miles on the wheels and there are only a couple of chips/flaws in it.
Not bad for spending less than $5 at Home Depot.
I'll post a pic if I can find one.
