I guess I'll be the first to say that I think they looked better silver. For me, it takes a certain design or color scheme to pull off black wheels. As long as you're happy with them, though, that's all that matters! ;)

I am happy with them, thanks for the feedback and comments everyone!

I liked the silver too, but they were way too bright. I did like the contrast they made on the car considering almost everything else on my car is either black or cinnamon glaze. I figured the black rims would look really nice, and go along with the rest of the blacked out parts on her, and my tint helps.

I'm very happy with the results. :D

I remember you saying how hard it would be to paint all the spokes. :lol: I liked the rims before, but this is just awesome! It flows with the tint so well! CG and black is very beautiful. I really love it! Great job. I love how you kept the center cap thing silver too.

Considering how hard it was to sand and paint the spokes due to the ridges all over she did a great job. Cassi is a perfectionist so they aren't quite up to her standards but I think she did a great job.

I also like that the center cap was left chrome. The running joke now is that they look like cop wheels from a distance.

:) Thanks. I think they turned out okay, but yes, I believe they could be better. Sometimes I can be too hard on myself though.

And yeah, oddly enough, they do look like cop wheels from far away, or while the car is moving. :lol:

Hmmm... at first I thought they might have been too dark but after staring at them now for a few seconds they really don't look half bad in black. ...and yeah they do look like cop car wheels :lol:

Only thing you need now is an R/T front bumper ;-) haha

Oh boy, don't put that thought back into her head!

Finding a R/T bumper is proving damn near impossible.

Mmmm...black is better. Now it needs more black. Carbon fiber lids maybe?
