That's right I painted my white wheels. Check out the pictures and let me know what you think. I think they turned out ok, but we'll see how long it last. Keep in mind all these pix are after the lip was sanded, and before I polished it. The first owner of the wheels evidently liked to drive into curbs or something, so I spent God know's how many hours sanding off the curb rash. Thanks. http://www.imagestation.com/album/index.html?id=4288497935

Thanks, yea they're 17" ADR Akunin wheels. I did about 2and a half coats(if that's really possible). Didn't clear coat, not sure if I should. I don't want them to get all shiny and what not, but could probably use the protection? Yea I polished the lip and it looks quite a bit better. Thanks again for all the compliments, I enjoy doing things myself.

If you want the lip to stay nice and polished then you should definantly clear coat the whole wheel. Otherwise the polished part will tarnish and loose its luster pretty quickly.
Those look hella sweet though.
I want to see pictures of them on the car.

nice get some pics of them on your car:thumbsup

Is there anything else I could do other than clear coat the wheels to protect them? I didn't really want to put the wheel on my car until after winter, but I guess I could put them on and take some pix just for you guys:thumbsup. I'll get some pictures of them on after awhile.
