newroeboy 08-20-2008, 01:02 AM the lip i used m3 pinstripe tape
laythor 08-20-2008, 01:03 AM nice rim job
millerlight 08-20-2008, 04:56 AM what type of paint did u use for the red?
N rider89 08-20-2008, 06:09 AM it looks great but you have to do those center caps. the "m" separates from the silver back ground so it looks clean.
newroeboy 08-21-2008, 12:51 PM the caps will be a bitch to do.
dillsrotary 08-21-2008, 12:54 PM Actually looks pretty damn good, congrats

exsequor 08-22-2008, 12:51 PM What type of paint do you use? Premium Spray Primer & Black Spray Paint?
Alucard 08-22-2008, 05:33 PM looks good, now get rid of those damn swirls on your car :)
flipRx8 09-04-2008, 02:19 AM those are veryy clean...good job! ... now im thinking of painting my rims
PBlue 09-04-2008, 08:05 AM not all center caps have the M come off... I have had 3 different sets. Of the 12 caps, 5 did, 7 did not.
for my track rims, just lightly sanded the whole thing and painted over the whole damn thing. Fast, easy... Feasy.
ILoveFI 09-06-2008, 04:57 PM Okay, you've convinced me, I'm painting a lip on my rims... Something I should have done a while ago :shifty

cjkim 09-06-2008, 05:08 PM think it would look cleaner with black calipers.
nvrfalter 09-07-2008, 04:53 AM one of the best stock rim paintjobs ive seen. especially for doing it yourself. but for me, such a hot color combo looks hotter on a hotter rim. catch my drift? pic whore time....
