Hey, that's false advertising! Another nice way to personalize your car.

Copycat! But seriously, it looks good and it's cheap and easy.

not usually a fan of black wheels but these look nice, and way better than the two tone

very nice. if I do that and some spacers, I might be able to avoid justifying new wheels altogether.

spacers to just push the wheels out some? Is that just for looks?

yeah for the looks and you will also get a wider track which could help with handling/grip. The "right" way to do it is with wider wheels and lower offset of course.

So how did you do your rims? Tape off the tire and just spray them (off the car of course)? I have never used that stuff.

Personalty I am not into pastie dipping, especially on a new car. I realize the befits of it (not being permanent), but I could never do it to my current car. Powder coat or nothing for me. BUT its does look good though and i'm glad you happy with it!

You put this on the calipers too? Are you worried about it melting or lighting on fire? What kind of heat tolerance?
