I like 'em. but it's really a per-case opinion. I've seen some painted wheels that look great (yours included) and some that look awful. it's not the quality either, it's something else that makes or breaks it, can't quite tell what though.
anyway, nice job!

I was going to get aftermarket wheels but after thinking it over I like the stock wheel look. I plan on dressing mine up by having them glass beaded and powder coated. It only costs about $200 here.

I think they look good. What kind of paint did you use? I like phone dial wheels. (Ain't many of us who do...) And they're about the lightest (13.5 lbs.) wheels available, so they help the suspension to have a quick response. I just put a set of Goodrich Traction T/A's on mine. Looks goods, sticks like glue.
