Attachment 1110Could tell since I had them for about a year the chrome behind the spokes was thin. Looked like crap all dirty and started pitting. So I decided to clean them up sand them down and paint them with.... You guess. Then I polished and cleaned the shit out of the chrome. Came out awesome makes the chrome pop out more imo

I might sell them or put new tires on because they're almost halfway gone now.. trying to decide which is more economical

It does look really good. The chrome and black contrast really works great and brings out the shine. And by the looks of them, the beer was well deserved.

I was thinkin more like a 24 haha, Looks good, but what happens when you throw these rims on a tire machine to swap out tires and the black paint scratches off where the teeth grab them?
