you should post up a diy when you post your pics... should include what you used.. how many coats, prep work... all that cuz i am thinking about doing it myself

the edges could have been done a little cleaner. It seems like there are some points all the way around the lip that are a little sketchy, but you would have to be pretty close up to tell. For the most part I'd give it a thumbs up though!

from the small pic that i saw they looked good...i am a little weary of painting my rims myself....i wanna paint mine black too...i really want to get them powdercoated but painting myself would be cheaper....does anyone know how much it would be to get four 17 inch rims powdercoated...i really want something that won't chip easily

Yeah it was pretty tough actually.. took a lot of time.... a whole lot....but i think they look damn good for me doing it myself... and it saved me alot of money... just hope the hold up good.... the edges are a little scetchy around the lip..... that was a tough part of it all....taping off the lip it was really hard to get straight.... but if you look at the overall rim they look nice.... if you look close up then there are some mistakes...but not too bad at all... overall i am very very pleased with them..... i will write up a DIY when i get the chance.......i will also get some pics tomorrow when i put them on my car.....
