i told you not to do that. you wouldnt have needed to prime them. im interested to see how the paint holds up on a wheel that has been completely stipped of its origional finish. take pics before you paint them, i wish you would have taken some before you primed them too.

thats cheap as fuck for all 4 wheels man.

the centerline storms on my car are powder coated black, and iirc keyser soze said it cost like $400. but they do look damn good, and you would never know they didnt come like that. they are flawless.

not the best picture(in a shadow) but you get the idea.

sorry i forgot to take primer pics but i had a sudden change of heart, i decided to head to the flat black look instead of the gloss so after they dry today ill have the pics up and you all can judge them
