Looks good.
 






Very nice. I have always been a fan of black rims.
 






Two of the center caps did not come out as well as i had hoped because i used the aircraft stripper on them, and since they are plastic the stripper began to eat threw away at them. So i sanded them down a bit and painted them up. But over all the rims came out perfect.
 






Looks awesome!

Can you take a couple more pics of them in the sun?
Thanks,
J.B.
