Did you sand them with the tires on? or have them unmounted and remounted?

all the tires are fine....lots of tread on them...only like 25000kms
sanded, primed, painted, and cleared w/ tires on...just taped off the tires - - it came out really well, honestly better than i expected the paint is actually a flat black, but it didnt really look too flat before i put on the clear coat

Just one man's opinion, but I don't particularly like dark rims. They don't "pop" as well as the old color...
I think your car looks better in your signature photo. But who cares what I think, as long as your happy, that's all that matters! Cheers! M2 |

i like them, but i also liked them in silver...
i like the black cus i have a lot of black on my car and it fits a certain scheme, but i liked the silver because they were more easily visible and looked super oem...

Nice job with the rear wiper! I want to do that to mine because of all the dust and pollen, it just sits there like a shelf and looks nasty all the time.
How hard was it to adjust the wiper motor and gears to accommodate the move? |
