If they look nice and clean up close, I think you did alright. It's what suits your taste. I can understand not having the cash for a whole new set of wheels. Get some close-up pics.

And clear those corners.
I think blacked out wheels is possibly the hardest look to pull off. Has to be done just right to look good, but when it is done right....damn |

Yea, paint those calipers....do it in sliver though or black...not red. Non-performance calipers painted a contrasting color screams rice. Put some tire shine on those tires too.

I don't know.... I mean it looks alright for now, but it's going to start fading off and possibly peeling later on... It's not my cup of tea, but if you like it that's all that matters.

First off, that's looks like a pretty good paint job on the wheels but the darker colours just make them look that much smaller. If you like it though, to each their own.

not too bad. the left side looks like its a bit rough tho, right where the sun is reflecting off of it. if you get sick of the painted stock wheels, ive got a set of 15 in wheels for sale.

Eh painting stock rims not really my thing, but if it works for you that's all that really matters. Doesn't look terrible though.
