Idk why everyone is hating, your new painted wheels look much better IMO. Did you plasti-dip or use the wheel paint spray?

Honestly if you're on the budget this is a helluva lot better than spending 3k on used volks that are what like 7 pounds lighter than stock rims? lol some people on this board...

^^^ you act as if a 7 pound difference between wheels isn't significant.

You painting them black just made the color contrast even worse and actually made them look even more sunken in.
your right on the contrast, i would need something else to make them "pop"

You don't have to spend $3k to get nice wheels. Quality starts around $1200 , 7 pounds is a huge difference when talking about rotating mass and would be equal to removing about 280 pounds of non rotating mass from the car.

Okay okay, I stand corrected. But if he's not using it at the track I feel that spending that much is kind of nullified... this is just from a poor man's standpoint though
